Wazi - ECD
We are aware that there are some issues on the site causing certain data to be displayed incorrectly. In some cases we have limited data or incorrect data for RTOs and ECDs. In other cases we are experiencing some processing issues. We are actively working on improving the site. A new version of WaziECD is in development which will provide much more valuable and useful data and insights.
