Episode Just Access: The Real Democracy - Episode 3: Water, Power and the Just Transition
Talking to Tracy Ledger and Jugal Mahabir, this episode does a deep dive into water, electricity, affordability, free basic services, alternative energy and municipal infrastructure. It examines what affects municipal finances, and how the critical need for affordable services could be prioritised by municipalities to support development and livelihoods.
Host Tasneem Essop asks what voters should look for when parties promise better services, including how municipalities use the funding allocated for free basic services. The conversation explores how rooftop solar could support infrastructure maintenance and low-income households, and how water released through the transition from coal could create opportunities for local development. Building on our first season, Just Access: The Real Transition, it asks who benefits from these choices and who is accountable for delivering.
