You're paying more. Are you getting more?

Across South Africa, municipal tariffs keep rising while roads crumble, water systems fail and service delivery declines.

OUTA believes municipalities should not be allowed to pass the cost of corruption, inefficiency and poor governance on to residents.

With local government elections approaching, we're asking:
What should disqualify a person from serving as a councillor?

For once, the most pressing issue at OUTA wasn’t government accountability.

It was whether shark slippers can beat unicorn slippers.

In support of The Reach For A Dream Foundation, Team OUTA swapped office shoes for slippers and joined thousands of South Africans helping bring hope, courage, and joy to children facing life-threatening illnesses.

A great cause, a lot of laughs, and far more competitive energy than anyone expected.

Now settle the argument for us.

Which pair wins?

Democracy shouldn’t disappear into PDFs, scattered reports and difficult-to-find parliamentary records.

ParlimeterSA helps turn oversight data into something the public can actually track, question and engage with. Because accountability works better when people can see it.

ParliMeter was developed in partnership with OUTA, OpenUp and the Parliamentary Monitoring Group to take years of accumulated parliamentary records and convert them into searchable, visual data.

Have you seen the Bridge Brigade? 👀🔥

The Bridge Brigade was out on the R21 at Yaldwyn Road, Jet Park, standing strong and asking for what every South African deserves: accountability.

No disruption. No fanfare. Just active citizens showing up and reminding decision-makers that South Africans are watching.

Thousands of commuters passed by today. Were you one of them?

Joburg owes Eskom billions, yet residents who miss payments face disconnections almost immediately.

In this clip from OUTA’s Weekly Wrap, Wayne Duvenage unpacks the City of Johannesburg’s growing debt crisis, Eskom’s threats, and the accountability questions surrounding the city’s leadership.

“They switch off your electricity quickly, but don’t believe they have to honour their own agreements.”

Mr Mayor, do you know the REAL state of the City of Joburg?

While we welcome the City’s more open acknowledgement of Johannesburg’s serious challenges the address highlighted an increasing disconnect between a mayor’s political messaging and the lived reality experienced daily by residents.
