Cape Town Marathon: 27,000 runners took over Mother City.
Tensions have intensified between the GOOD Party and the City of Cape Town over the recent road closures for the Cape Town Marathon.
GOOD claims that the closures prevented residents from reaching their workplaces, leading to lost wages.
The Cape Town Marathon shut down major routes through the CBD, Atlantic Seaboard and southern suburbs on race day.
The World Athletics Gold Label event brings thousands of runners to the city each year, but the road closures needed to run it have drawn complaints from residents, according to GOOD councillor Roscoe Palm.
