South Africans path to resilient governance, South Africa’s municipalities lie at the heart of the nation’s development, shouldering the responsibility of providing essential services and fostering sustainable growth. Yet, many faces significant hurdles-aging infrastructure, resource constraints, and the pressures of rapid urbanization. The solution? A bold step into the digital age.
