Ports, Poisoned Snacks & Power Plays: Kanthan Pillay’s Fixes for SA
--:--
🔧 "South Africa’s problems need systemic solutions – not quick fixes." – Kanthan Pillay
In this week’s How to Fix South Africa, author and analyst Kanthan Pillay tackles:
⚠️ The Spaza Shop Crisis:
Why cracking down on shops won’t stop poisoned snacks (and what will)
The supply chain criminals who evade accountability
How digital registration could save township economies
🚢 Africa Development Bank’s $475M Boost:
Can SA’s ports and rails compete globally? (Spoiler: Not without 24/7 operations)
Why labour laws are strangling efficiency
📚 The Math Emergency:
464 schools don’t offer math – KZN & Eastern Cape worst hit
Pillay’s blunt take: "Fire incompetent teachers. Unions are blocking progress."
💡 Standout Quote:
"We don’t need ‘African solutions’ – we need international best practices adapted to SA’s realities."
