Can you please share why you're not following up or pushing it up the line, seeing as there's a reference number? Also please share what the city cleaning fee is for that we're forced to pay?

All good and well, but getting from the airport on to the N2 is still a massive problem that needs solving.
Wonderful news! We’ve broken the 11 million mark for the first time! ✈️🇿🇦
The visitor economy brings many more jobs to Cape Town, and helps get more Capetonians out of poverty. That is our purpose!
Tourism in Cape Town is one of the only sectors of the SA economy growing at the rate needed to really bring unemployment down in our country. ✅
It is great to see more and more people coming to Cape Town for leisure and business. @Moneyweb

Hi @geordinhl, could we please focus on making the N2 a safer route in 2026. We see all the lovely things your team is doing, but many of us are literally risking our lives daily going to work.
We need action ASAP.

Spokesperson for City of Cape Town Law Enforcement, Wayne Dyason, says the man seen in a viral video has handed himself in. In the footage, a man believed to be a tourist guide is seen picking up the littered item and returning it to the driver, who then allegedly opens his car door and litters again. Littering is an offence in South Africa, with City of Cape Town by-laws providing for fines of up to R10,000 or imprisonment of between six months and two years. #Newzroom405

We're seeking the public's help to identify two people in a viral video.
A motorist tossed litter from their vehicle at an intersection in the CBD.
A tour guide approached, picked it up, and returned it – but the driver threw it out again and gave obscene gestures to the tour bus occupants 😡.
Littering's an offence under South Africa's environmental laws.
The driver could face a fine, and their vehicle might be impounded.
We need info on:
- The tour guide who tried to intervene
- The motorist in the video.
If you know anything, call us anonymously on 021-480 7700 or email wayne.dyason@capetown.gov.za.

It is painful to watch this enormous amount of water being wasted almost daily. Instead of sweeping, the hose is used for 1 - 2 hours and even to remove a single leaf because sweeping is too much effort.
Spoke to him and completed C3’s to CoCT but nothing happened. I have family well into their 80’s who carries rainwater in buckets to save water but then you have this exorbitant waste. Hose in one hand, the least amount of effort 🙄🤬🤬

I think it is disinformation. I hear @CyrilRamaphosa also says "misinformation," but what they are doing is disinformation. Misinformation is inaccurate & shared without intention to deceive. Disinformation is false, deliberately created & designed to manipulate, deceive and cause harm. And they have caused harm.

Some quick facts:
1. Kenyan nationals were raided for engaging in and processing the so called Afrikaner refugees.
2. These Kenyan nationals did not have the requisite working visa to conduct such work.
3. No American official was arrested.
4. No interference with the current US Afrikaner Programme.
Don’t fall for these lies peddled by Afriforum & likeminded organisations & people
#CountryDuty 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Don’t fall for the scam!
I have just confirmed with U.S. officials that the South African authorities did indeed raid a U.S. refugee facility in Johannesburg yesterday, detaining U.S. staff who have been processing Afrikaner refugees. The applicants who were present on the premises were subjected to harassment and intimidation, despite not having transgressed any law.
@afriforum condemns this behaviour by the South African authorities. This behaviour shows a disregard for the human rights of the applicants present. Such conduct is not unexpected from a government that still refuses to condemn human rights abuses by those calling for the killing of Afrikaners through the “Kill the Boer” chant.

This statement is urgent, detailed and well-drafted.
That will of course not stop a barrage of tweets and "truths" to come our way

This isn’t normal.
This isn’t acceptable.
This isn’t a way to live.
We deserve so much better than living in fear, not just of criminals, but the police who protect them.
Ekurhuleni is a complete mafia state: from the murder of auditor Mpho Mafole, multibillion ZAR tender irregularities, questions around the killing of a DJ, Cat Matlala’s blue lights, and the EMPD head taking money...the breakdown of law, accountability. news24.com/investigations/ma…

His counterpart’s accusations still hanging in the air like dust after a storm, #SouthAfrica🇿🇦's Chief Diplomat—calmly delivers a devastating rebuttal. Paraphrase: “your narrative is eloquent. But it does not survive contact with reality.” Spare 2 minutes & read this 👇
Secretary Rubio,
I have read your Substack post from 3 December 2025.
From the outset, let me extend congratulations to the United States on assuming the G20 Presidency. We offer our sincere wishes for a successful term, one that we hope will serve the cause of global unity and inclusive progress.
Your words, however, compel me to speak—not merely as a representative of a government, but as a voice from a nation whose very existence is a testament to a profound truth: that the deepest divides can be bridged. Not through dictation, but through dialogue, not through power alone, but through unwavering principle, not through unilateral action but global solidarity.

Dam levels are currently at 79.4% – 15% lower than last summer due to below-average rainfall this year. Let's be water-wise this festive season & aim for under 975 MLD water use!

I’m so happy to see that they showcased world-class South African artists in the Leaders Lounge.
I saw pieces by Mary Sibande and Dylan Lewis 🥰
