South Africa faces a corruption crisis that impacts service delivery everywhere.
Neither Afrophobic rhetoric nor scapegoating vulnerable populations will solve it.
To move our country #BeyondStateCapture, we MUST #StopCorruption

Democracy isn’t a one-day event; it's an everyday practice. The crises we are facing as a nation: our democracy under threat, our hopelessness, our lack of participation, the violence, the hunger, the literal sewage in our streets… these issues were made over decades, and it’s going to take decades of unmaking to fix them. No one can sit that out, it’s going to take all of us.
But it is not impossible. 💪🏾
We, @Mobilize_ZA, @ForDemocracySa, @MVC_SA and @capture_beyond will be sharing 10 ways you can start making civic engagement part of your lifestyle before and after 4 November.
🇿🇦 South Africa needs you. Let’s get started. 🇿🇦

✔️ An informed vote starts with asking the right questions.
The goal isn't to tell you who to vote for - it's to help you make a decision based on reliable information.
An informed voter is an empowered voter.

Do you know the difference between a Ward Councillor and a PR Councillor?
🗳️One vote helps choose your local ward representative.
🗳️Another helps determine proportional representation in your municipality.
It's easy to think that one vote doesn't matter.
But in South Africa's local government elections, some ward races have been decided by margins of only a handful of votes - and in some cases, as few as two votes.
It's one voice in deciding who shapes your neighbourhood, your municipality, and the services you rely on every day.
Register. Show up. Vote.

Local government decisions affect the roads you drive on, the water from your taps, refuse collection, libraries, parks, and many of the services you rely on every day.
If you're not registered, you won't be able to vote in November's local government elections.
Your vote is one of the ways you help decide who is accountable for those decisions.
