How to Fix South Africa with Kanthan Pillay | Episode: Political Distractions & Human Costs

Loading player...
In this edition of How to Fix South Africa, Kanthan Pillay unpacks how political theatre is stealing attention from urgent, life-impacting failures in service delivery. We spotlight the shocking return of R102 million by Gauteng’s Department of Social Development—while NGOs caring for South Africa’s most vulnerable go unfunded. Plus, we touch on the international implications of Donald Trump’s new travel ban and what it signals for global migration policy.

📌 Political distractions are costing lives. It’s time to refocus on what really matters.
