Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis has announced that the City of Cape Town has broken its all-time infrastructure spending record, even surpassing its FIFA World Cup infrastructure investment in the City to achieve job-creating economic growth.
Appreciate the beauty of Cape Town with a 60-minute cruise for R155 . Get itTo address concerns about equitable distribution, Mayor Hill-Lewis revealed that 74% of the City’s R11 billion infrastructure budget for 2023/24 will directly benefit lower-income households. These strategic investments are facilitating economic progress, with Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain leading in the number of approved residential building plans for the coming year.
He made reference to the explosion on Johannesburg’s Bree Street, indicating that neglected and chaotic underground infrastructure can have severe consequences, compromising residents’ safety and well-being. ‘The failure to clean and maintain sewer pipes, the failure to expand sanitation infrastructure as a city grows and the failure to comply with safety protocols in the planning and building of infrastructure not only robs residents of dignified services, it can also be deadly,’ said Mayor Hill-Lewis.
