Bongani is lying. As a mayor I have never had to get approval from any DA structure on appointments and hiring. The process is legislated and council appoints. In uMngeni most of the people who have been employed are ex-ANC/IFP administrators, hired without prejudice.

Commitment made, and now commitment met:
We said we would let residential households earn cash for power from their solar PV generation systems. Today, Cape Town has officially become the first city to enable this. 🔋👏
We started with businesses, and now households too, can sell power back to the @CityofCT and help us end loadshedding in Cape Town over time. Ending load-shedding is the most important thing we can do for more job-creating economic growth in our city ✅

When you’re in the area, try El Greeyo in Woodstock for great coffee! ☕️
Cuban-Capetonian owners Daniel, Kenia and their Cuban-Eritrean-now-Capetonian barista, Tesfaye, are doing something great here!
I love seeing small businesses thriving in the city. Will be back!🌞

I visited the Pedersen + Lennard factory in Maitland to see this wonderful business thriving and employing more people! 🏭👩🏭🛋️
More jobs in Cape Town is our #1 mission! 🔥
I also so enjoy visiting manufacturing businesses in particular, because it is so unbelievably tough running a manufacturing business in SA with loadshedding.
This business is thriving despite the odds, and I was very chuffed to hear that they are one of the growing number of businesses making use of the @CityofCT's "Cash for Power" offer through their sizeable solar installation 👏☀️🔋
Short term action inevitable, long term thinking vital.

‘Terrorist and insurgent groups…resort to spectacular violence to provoke an irrational response:
“They know that the harm that they can do to the dominant power is limited. They understand that the harm that the dominant power can do to itself is infinitely greater.”

I’m pleased with this statement from the National Cabinet - standing up for the rule of law and greater commuter safety for taxi passengers. 👏👏👏
That is our number 1 focus! Safer roads for all.

I strongly condemn the violence linked to the SANTACO strike 🚕🚨
We won't tolerate disruption and will hold perpetrators accountable for public violence and damages.
We'll protect commuters and non-striking operators from intimidation.
#TaxiStrike
Well done on putting the words “debit” and “credit” into a catchy tune.
You know that feeling when you get paid on the 25th and life is so flippin’ lekker for like 5 min, and then those debit orders start arriving? Ja ne, NOT lekker. But hippo.co.za and rap beast @LoufiMusiek have brought you some good vibes to pick you up this #MonthEnd.

WATCH: 🍿 The ANC in Cape Town tried to claim they represent the poor. 🙄 They got answered.
In Cape Town, we are doing everything in our power to protect residents from every failure they’ve inflicted on our country!
We’ll done in taking a more “assertive” stance to solving our power problem @geordinhl - let’s build an environment that SMEs can thrive in.
New ep!
