DA reversing Cape Town spatial apartheid legacy: Hill-Lewis
Spatial apartheid is the intentional design of cities and towns to keep groups separated.
Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis has admitted that the remnants of spatial apartheid are still present in the city, but asserts that the Democratic Alliance (DA) is making strides in dismantling this legacy. The DA's mayoral hopeful addressed this issue during a debate on the SABC’s Cape Town Mayoral candidates debate prior to the local government elections scheduled for November 4th.
Spatial apartheid refers to the intentional creation of segregated and unequal cities through physical planning and legislation. Hill-Lewis emphasizes that while the shadow of spatial apartheid persists across all cities in South Africa, the DA is actively working to reverse its effects. He contends that critics suggesting the DA is reinforcing this legacy are spreading "propaganda nonsense."
Hill-Lewis highlights the DA's efforts over the past five years to expand job opportunities and opportunities, and pledges to seek enhanced policing powers to tackle violent crime in Cape Town.
