The City of Cape Town’s scheme linking tariffs to property values is illegal, unfair, and cloaked in lies about redistributive justice. It is illegal because the Local Government Municipal Systems Act dictates that a municipality’s tariff policies must reflect the principle of usage. In other words, you pay for the services you receive.

After years of struggle and public pressure, there are encouraging signs that the Western Cape Government (WCG) is finally listening. At a follow-up public meeting held in Sea Point last night, consultants appointed by the WCG presented revised concept proposals for the redevelopment of the Tafelberg School site, now quietly renamed “353-on-Main.” These new plans reflect a shift in response to public calls for more social and affordable housing.

GOOD welcomes the appointment of Professor Firoz Cachalia to this critical portfolio at a time when public trust in the police is dangerously low, and the entire criminal justice system is under unprecedented scrutiny. The appointment follows explosive allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner, Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, implicating senior figures in our police service, intelligence structures, prosecuting authority, and political leadership. These allegations must be taken seriously, and due process must follow but they cannot be allowed to consume the entire focus of the new minister.
