Cape Town is trying to get more skilled workers to semigrate

Is this to attract greater tax and rates payers? In the end the WC attracts both unskilled and skilled workers, the only province that doesn't loot the funds beyond functioning properly.

The issue is that Cape Town is already overpopulated. There isn't enough housing or transport infrastructure to handle the existing population. Or schools and water. You have to build the infrastructure first and you have to stop trying to cram more people into existing suburbs. They're already overcrowded.

As the unskilled arrive here, the entrepreneurial ones see the gold in the streets and build successful businesses. Employing more unskilled labour.

The unsuccessful unskilled will mostly return to their home towns after a while. It's very predictable and has been like this for decades.

Even under ANC, the CoCT achieved certain (limited) success with some positive legacy.

Sure, we pride ourselves on being better than the worst, instead of saying we are the worst of the best. So I won't be too patriotic and claim WC is heaven, it's more like the safe space in Hell.

Ah yes... bring more of Gauteng here... that's so swell... where they all gonna stay?
Burgundy Estate is such a lekker place after all.

Now I need to go elsewhere to escape the GP arseholes... especially the new lot in Sunningdale, who still think they are driving on the N1 @ William Nicol and can still drive like jackasses!
