infrastructure indicators show slow movement – but the movement is in the right direction. So are indicators for illiteracy (down 2.1%) and those for households living in informal or traditional dwellings (down 3.3%). Taken together, these are successes for a government that espouses a basic needs approach and prioritises infrastructure investments. But the indicators need to be seen together. Infrastructure improvements have occurred against a backdrop of spiralling unemployment and lack of regular household incomes. Free basic services provided by government are an important deliverable – although the households without water access or connections to the grid cannot benefit – and need to be seen from the perspective not simply of availability but affordability. It is critical that all South Africans enjoy a better life that includes the government services previously refused or denied them; but they must be able to access and afford those services as well. In Table 6 and Table 7 we show the scores for each indicator across all 21 nodes. This data is analysed for each node in the situation analysis, and is not discussed in any detail here. The point is that the poverty priorities in all nodes are visible. For example, refuse removal is a massive problem in every ISRDP node barring perhaps Thabo Mofutsanyane and Central Karoo – but not a major problem (at least by comparison) in the urban nodes. Unemployment is more severe in rural than urban nodes – but it is a massive challenge for all nodes, ISRDP and URP, requiring national not just local solutions. 42
