How to Fix South Africa – With Kanthan Pillay

--:--
In this week’s episode of How to Fix South Africa, journalist, entrepreneur, and author Kanthan Pillay joins us to unpack some of the pressing issues affecting everyday South Africans—from the crisis of hijacked buildings in our cities to the frustrating process of applying for IDs and passports.

We also discuss the new rollout of identity and passport services via banking apps, a move that could simplify bureaucracy and improve service delivery—if implemented effectively.

Tune in for smart insights, bold ideas, and practical fixes—because hope alone won’t change the future.
