The GOOD Party has expressed concerns over the Democratic Alliance's (DA) alleged use of the City of Cape Town's Council Chamber for a party-political event while formal council meetings continue to be held online.
The controversy arose after video footage surfaced, reportedly showing DA members using the chamber for what GOOD councillor Sandra Dickson characterised as a "motivational gathering." Dickson questioned the inconsistency of allowing such an event in the chamber when councillors are still required to participate in council meetings virtually.

"Video footage posted today shows the DA using the Cape Town Council Chamber for what was clearly a party-political, motivational gathering. Yet the next formal Council meeting, scheduled for 30 July 2026, will once again be held online," she said.
