They’ve changed tack - the new mayor has a distinctly socialist slant. Wants to direct the bulk of ratepayer‘s money to the non-ratepaying. Sounds more like he wants redistribution at all costs.
Of course, if infrastructure in affluent areas starts being neglected and the place starts looking like Joburg, the northern influx will come to a grinding halt and so ultimately will all that nice ratepayer money and the jobs those evil rich people create. But anyhoo, seems like we’re doomed to repeat the same folly in perpetuity.
Cape Town: The only way to bring hope to all is by directing the bulk of the City’s focus towards high-poverty areas.
