This is the cynic's guide to making Cape Town the greatest city in the world!
1. Law Enforcement must take charge of this city. Indiscriminately fine the homeless - especially in winter - as it will fundamentally deter more homeless from living in the inner city;

@CapeTown sold off land earmarked for affordable housing, for a short-term cash injection of R130 million. It was unconstitutional 'cos the state has constitutional duty to provide access to adequate housing (Section 26(1)) & equitable access to land (Section 25(5). @MandiShandu
