This podcast series of five episodes compellingly captures communities’ experiences with climate change and failures in disaster relief by government. The first episode sets the scene with a harrowing first-hand recounting of the Riversands floods of 2024, then goes on to establish the concept and context of climate governance with gripping narration, explanations, and commentary from experts. These include legal researcher Mashudu Masutha, Transparency International climate researcher Gvantsa Gverdtsiteli, and Open Secrets investigators Michael Marchant and Zen Mathe, authors of the research report Who Has the Power: South Africa’s Energy Profiteers.
