#SHSI Episode 27 - OPINION: WHY THE TOWN OF MAKHANDA (FORMERLY GRAHAMSTOWN*) HAS COLLAPSED!
Description
This is Makhanda, the Eastern Cape town formerly known as Grahamstown, which stands as a stark testament to the devastating consequences of municipal neglect and alleged maladministration. Once envisioned as a vibrant hub, home to prestigious educational institutions and the renowned National Arts Festival, this town is now grappling with a systemic collapse of basic services, a crumbling infrastructure, and a palpable sense of despair among its residents.The story of Makhanda is not just a local tragedy; it reflects a broader systematic problem afflicting numerous municipalities across South Africa. Granted, there’s a lot that this nation is still striving to fully realize, and the proper running of municipalities like this one in Makana is one of them.
