Since the Covid-19 pandemic started last year in South Africa, it has exposed socio-economic weaknesses resulting from poor policy implementation and a fundamental failure of political leadership. Has a result of that, there has been huge increase in the number of protest in the country demanding service delivery. It is believed that in South Africa since the pandemic has started we have recorded more than 900 service delivery protest from August to January.
It was also no different here in Grahamstown as resident along with the taxi association took to the street to show their dissatisfaction with service delivery, starting with fixing road issue, water issue and lastly illegal dumping sites around the community.
