If it came to war , they would just invade SA . It not like we have any ships/planes or army left
All I can say is that SA does not currently control it in any manner or form

There is no reason for any country to be fighting over sa for that reason above

Doubt they'd even need to invade us to be honest... They'd just flatten any non-necessary port facilities, and control the only one they'd actually want.

Of course, they would invade SA to take the country. Or SA would give the facilities to the Chinese or Russians. The USA and NATO would not stand for that and would invade. Whoever takes SA would control the Cape Sea Route and all traffic around it.

I see only @TheChamp is against Gogo turning JHB around. R60k+ goes a long way

Champy will conveniently ignore this part:

Harvey, who has recently moved to Cape Town, said that while service delivery in the city’s townships is a legitimate concern when compared to that in the suburbs, they are still in a better state than in other parts of the country.

But the 'DA is racist' cry the ANC/EFF/MK drones...
 

I'm sure the DA in COCT put him up to this.

A distraught father of four from Kraaifontein claims he was defrauded out of R35 000 by an ANC councillor who allegedly promised him a plot of land that never materialised.

Zamayedwa Ncedani told News24 that in 2022, he paid the ANC councillor Siviwe Nodliwa, for what he believed was a legitimate land purchase.

“This wasn’t a bribe,” Ncedani said.

“I was buying a plot from him. Since he works for the municipality, I trusted that he would follow through. All I wanted was a place I could call my own,” Ncedani said.


However, weeks turned into months, and eventually, a year passed with no plot and no explanation.

“There was a section in Kraaifontein being prepared for housing where people could purchase plots instead of waiting for RDP houses. That’s what I was hoping for. But instead, he robbed me and stopped communicating with me altogether,” Ncedani said.

Now, Ncedani and his family are forced to rent a small, overcrowded two-bedroom shack.


He said:

Two of my children sleep in the kitchen.

“In the morning, they pack away their bedding so we can use the space again. They’d have their own bedrooms if I had a proper place,” he added:

Frustrated after failing to get his money back, Ncedani reported the matter to the Speaker of the City of Cape Town Council, Felicity Purchase, in early 2024.

“They conducted a forensic investigation. It’s been completed, but they refuse to share the findings with me,” he said.

Purchase confirmed that the investigation was done and was handed to her office.

“I am currently considering the findings and the way forward,” she said.

Asked for comment, Nodliwa did not deny nor admit that he pocketed the money.

“I hear what you are saying,” he said.

“I will wait for the Speaker to table the findings in council, then I will break my silence,” he said.

The ANC also did not respond to questions sent by News24.

Nodliwa is no stranger to controversy.

In 2023, he hired convicted rapist Masilakhe Benedict Ngqebe as his clerk. At the time, Nodliwa claimed he was unaware of Ngqebe’s criminal record.

The municipality said it could not intervene, as the post was a political appointment made at the councillor’s discretion.
