Former President Jacob Zuma’s eleventh-hour demand that Justice Sisi Khampepe be withdrawn as chairperson of the Commission investigating alleged political interference in the prosecution of apartheid era crimes compounds the very injustice the Commission was set up to probe.
Speech by Siyabulela Mamkeli, GOOD City of Cape Town Councillor. Note to Editor: This speech was delivered during the Cape Town Council Meeting
The City of Cape Town is preparing to adopt its new Long-Term Planning Framework (LTPF), a document meant to steer the future of a metro of more than five million residents.
Cape Town residents are quite literally paying the price for a procurement system that has staggered from crisis to collapse under the Democratic Alliance (DA) administration.
The GOOD Party notes with concern the handling of the Platner Boulevard project. Proper inspection should have been carried out, yet the engineering firm SMEC delivered incomplete work. Despite this, the firm received full payment for an impact study that failed to identify critical issues with the sidewalk and road.
Today, as Chairperson of the Section 79 Finance Committee in the City of Joburg, I successfully tabled a damning Oversight Report following an unannounced oversight visit of the Finance Committee to Joburg Water and City Power on 13 November 2025, the report details a breakdown of operational discipline, a collapse of internal ethics, and a direct assault on democratic oversight.
Parliament’s approval of a new structure to oversee the Presidency and hold it accountable is an important handbrake on unfettered power.
The GOOD Party is shocked and deeply saddened by the brutal killing of a nine-year-old boy in Mitchells Plain on Tuesday night. A 21-year-old woman and a 26-year-old man were also killed, while a 51-year-old and a 36-year-old man were wounded in the same attack.
The GOOD Party applauds the conviction of Abraham Engelbrecht and Pieter Stander for the murder of anti-apartheid activist Caiphus Nyoka in 1987.
After months of delay, the crime statistics for the first and second quarters of 2025/2026 have finally been released, and they reveal a province in deep crisis.
