Episode #3 with Schalk and JD from https://www.OpenUp.org.za, a civic-tech consultancy in South Africa. We talk about https://vulekamali.gov.za an open data portal for government budgets that allows South Africans to see exactly where the taxes get spent. They massively upgraded the old system which consisted of PDF files on an unindexed web page. The new system uses CKAN (an open data platform) to make the data easily available and searchable. There are even APIs too. As well as their professional work with OpenUp, Schalk and JD also run civic-tech community events out of https://www.codebridge.org.za that have enabled interested people to jumpstart their ideas including local developers who investigated what led up to South Africa's water crisis.
