What does it take to build a city that actually works for its people? 👀
This week on the DA Podcast, we’re joined by Geordin Hill-Lewis, DA Federal Leader, Cape Town Mayor and mayoral candidate, to unpack what it takes to get a city working, and keep it working.
From fixing failing infrastructure and improving service delivery, to creating jobs, attracting investment and making Cape Town a city that works for all, Geordin takes us behind the scenes of what good governance looks like in practice.
We get the inside scoop on the lessons Cape Town has learned, the challenges ahead, and what South Africa can learn from a city that is getting things done.

Name and shame: SA's worst officials
Ever wondered exactly who's responsible for the dry taps, dodgy audits, and the potholes nobody explains?
This week we're naming names. The DA has identified ten of the country's worst-performing municipal managers, the "Terrible 10," and is laying real criminal charges under the Municipal Finance Management Act.
We go through who they are, what they got away with for years, and why "redeploying" a failed manager to the next town over should never count as consequences. It's a wild one.
