Umbilo South Association joins the Community Action Network for enhanced civic impact

In a significant move towards bolstering community-driven initiatives, the Umbilo South Association (USA) has officially become a part of the Community Action Network (CAN), an initiative spearheaded by the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA).

The decision to join CAN aligns with USA’s commitment to fostering community engagement and addressing local governance challenges.

By becoming a member of CAN, the USA gains access to invaluable governance and technical support, enhancing its capacity to address community issues effectively. Furthermore, the affiliation grants USA entry into a robust network of community organisations spanning South Africa, enabling collaborative efforts on a national scale.

OUTA, a leading civic activism organisation in South Africa, has a commendable track record. Renowned for its pivotal role in the fight against e-Tolls in Gauteng, OUTA has also played a crucial part in aiding the state’s investigation into State Capture. Additionally, OUTA actively lobbies Parliament, advocating for policies that align with the interests and well-being of South African communities.

The synergy between the USA and CAN, under the umbrella of OUTA, signifies a united front for civic activism, with the potential to effect positive change at both the local and national levels. This collaboration underscores the power of community-driven initiatives in shaping a better future for South Africa.
