This September 2025 edition showcases how communities are driving real change in governance, housing, and climate action:

• Tshwane adopts a community-led waste strategy built with Asivikelane facilitators.

• 150 heat sensors installed in Gauteng to shape climate-ready housing solutions.

• Planact pushes for local government reform, water justice, and fairer municipal budgets.

• Communities in Rustenburg and Mpumalanga take bold steps to demand better roads, services, and accountability.

Planact continues to amplify grassroots voices at policy tables, ensuring dignity, equity, and resilience are at the centre of local development.
