I went to check on Constable Damani today who was shot while chasing a gangster in Hanover Park yesterday. He is about to go for surgery and we will keep him in our thoughts. Officers like the Constable place body on the line every day to make Cape Town safer. Thank you!

Today I took colleagues on a trip around the CBD to inspect some of the deteriorated public open spaces, and set plans for re-planting, painting, fixing and spraying. They will be spruced up so that they can reflect the hopeful city we’re building.🏅

The numbers are in, and Cape Town has set a new all-time infrastructure spending record! 🏗️📈 A record R6.94bn was invested, surpassing even the pre-FIFA World Cup investment. This is an investment in a growing city with better services for all.

We are hoping to build another big Safe Space in Greenpoint as part of our efforts to assist more homeless people off the streets. It is not dignified for anyone to live on the street, so we need residents’ support to green light this new Safe Space in Greenpoint. 🚦✅

@Mehmetvefadag Genuinely saddened that this hate message gets such traction. A pedestrian crossing isn’t forcing you to do anything, Mehmet. You’re welcome to protest peacefully, but not to spread hate, and not to damage public infrastructure.

I thank @ArchbishopThabo for calling a prayer service at St George’s Cathedral today. I will attend. I will offer prayers for the life of Officer Zanikhaya Kwinana, for all victims of the taxi violence this past weekend, and for a speedy end to the strike.

Today I visited our swimming pools in Newlands and Hanover Park. I joined in for a water aerobics class in Hanover Park which local ladies attend daily. This pool is in excellent condition. Newlands is open but needs a bit more work to get it up to the standard we aim for. 🏅
