5B INTERVIEW_ BUSISIWE GUMEDE-CHIZHANJE CHATS KASI TO KASI (05 AUG 26)

This morning on 5 Breakfast, I’m joined by renowned journalist, producer and presenter Busisiwe Gumede-Chizhanje, the host of the new SABC 2 series Kasi To Kasi. Now, local government is one of those things we all talk about when something goes wrong — when the water is off, the lights are out, the roads are a mess, or nobody knows who is supposed to fix what. But Kasi To Kasi takes that conversation out of the complaint section and into real communities, showing how municipalities shape everyday life in South Africa. The series looks at authentic community voices, real municipal projects, responsible citizenship, public participation and what best-practice service delivery can actually look like when municipalities, communities and stakeholders work together. It runs for 26 weeks and visits municipalities including Emfuleni, Rustenburg, Emalahleni, Moses Kotane and Govan Mbeki.
