Speaker, the situation is so serious that in our latest amendment to the System of Delegations, this Council had to step in and assign responsibility to the Chairperson of the Safety and Security Portfolio Committee to ensure that CIVOC simply complies with its own requirements. That tells you everything.
Speaker, the people of Cape Town and South Africa must know that the Mayor of Cape Town and now leader of the Democratic Alliance, Geordin Hill-Lewis, has been lying to us all in Cape Town about reasons why we still don't have an affordable and inclusionary housing policy, 8 years later when this was first proposed by Brett Herron in this council.
The DA-run City is bending the rules to accommodate a favoured few. We are being asked to breathe life into a 17-year-old "Helen Zille Zombie Deal" that has already died three times.

Speech by Suzette Little, GOOD Deputy Secretary-General & City of Cape Town Councillor. Note to Editor: This speech was delivered today at the City of Cape Town Council Meeting
The GOOD Party Stellenbosch is deeply concerned about the devastating impact of the severe flooding experienced this past weekend, following the first pre-seasonal rains in Idas Valley, Cloetesville and surrounding areas in Stellenbosch.
The GOOD Party reiterates its full support for the transport sector following the march, recently held in George.
The GOOD Party notes the close of public participation on the draft budget and warns the DA-led administration: residents have spoken clearly, and they expect action.
The ongoing dysfunction of the Democratic Alliance-led City of Cape Town’s reporting systems during the recent rainfall has directly contributed to delays in service delivery, particularly in addressing critical road hazards such as potholes and flooding.
The DA-led City of Cape Town has repeatedly communicated that “lower rates are coming” because of the 2026/27 Draft Budget. This claim is based on the 10.2% reduction in the rate-in-the-rand.
