How to Fix South Africa – Weekly Feature with Kanthan Pillay

Loading player...
South Africa’s infrastructure is failing—water shortages, transport disruptions, and incomplete billion-rand projects are leaving citizens frustrated. Gautrain bus services have been suspended due to vandalism, water outages last up to 12 hours, and the Rea Vaya bus system remains incomplete despite massive investments.

In this episode of "How to Fix South Africa," our weekly feature with journalist, entrepreneur, and author Kanthan Pillay, we tackle the root causes of these failures and discuss real, actionable solutions. From fixing municipal mismanagement to holding government accountable, we explore what it will take to turn the country around.

🎧 Tune in every week as we break down South Africa’s biggest challenges and how we can fix them—because hope alone won’t change the future.
