GOOD Secretary-General
11 November 2026
The GOOD Party is proud to announce the Proportional Representation (PR) councillors who will represent our movement in the City of Cape Town Council following the local government elections.
These six councillors carry a strong mandate: to hold the ruling party strictly accountable, fight spatial and economic inequality, and work tirelessly to ensure GOOD’s Six Pledges for Cape Town are implemented by the Democratic Alliance.
Meet Your City of Cape Town GOOD PR Councillors
The Cape Town councillors who make up our new caucus represent dedicated service and strong grassroots support together with our commitment to a more just and inclusive City:
– Roscoe Palm
– Ayesha Mahatey
– Kaden Arguile
– Fiona O’Keane-Cloete
– Lorenzo Johnson
– Lulama Benge
All of our ward councillor candidates were potential PR councillor candidates.GOOD ran a detailed performance assessment process to determine the PR list ranking and the ranking is an outcome of a fair, transparent and predetermined process.These councillors will now carry voters’ mandate into Council, holding the ruling party accountable to GOOD’s six pledges for Cape Town.
Our caucus will champion the GOOD vision across every sub-council, committee, and full council sitting, focusing on six non-negotiable pledges:
1. An Affordable City: Reforming municipal tariffs, expanding indigent relief, and protecting household budgets so living in Cape Town remains affordable for working families.
2. A Housed City: Stopping the disposal of public land, building affordable public housing on well-located land, and honoring Section 26 rights to constitutional housing and dignity.
3. An Equitable City: Ending the “two cities” disparity by delivering uniform, high-quality municipal infrastructure, services, and maintenance across all wards, from the Cape Flats to the Atlantic Seaboard.
4. A Safer City: Redirecting safety resources toward youth programmes, community-led intervention, and root-cause crime prevention alongside professional policing.
5. A Trusted City: Opening up municipal accounts, procurement committees, and council decisions to real, transparent public participation.
6. A Working City: Investing in city infrastructure to build local skills, bring municipal service jobs back in-house, and drive inclusive economic growth.
Where people live matters. How people live matters even more. Our six councillors are ready to serve every resident with integrity, courage, and action.
