Nolwandle Gqiba, Executive Director City of Cape Town Human Settlements Directorate, Mark van Wyk, Chairperson Communicare, Anthea Houston, CEO of Communicare, Mayco Member for Human Settlements, Councillor Carl Pophaim, Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis, City Councillor Ian McMahon at the Salt River Market site for the construction of 970 inner-city affordable housing units by developer Communicare.

There is something deeply offensive about watching Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis stand in front of cameras and talk about affordable housing while more than 400,000 Capetonians remain trapped in a housing crisis with no meaningful end in sight. He has just a nerve… NO PLAN. NO POLITICAL WILL. ONLY MONKEY TRICKS…

At some point, we have to stop applauding announcements and start counting houses.

At some point, we have to stop celebrating handovers and start asking where the keys are.

At some point, we have to stop allowing Mayor Puppet Master to treat us like fools.
