Allways such a pleasure to be able to listen to the mayor. A man who knows what he is doing, never beating around the bush. One of the best things to happen to Cape Town. Thank you Sir
I wish this guy was our president.😄😄👍👍👍
How on earth?
GHL l do not idolize or hero worship anybody BUT if l did you would be that person. You are super intelligent, speak beautifully & are doing the best possible job under horrendous circumstances. A huge congratulations & massive admiration to you 👍🙏
This guys is such a legend , we're proud to have you as our mayor !
Agree! ❤ Love This❣️
Kudos for Geordin for doing these down to earth interviews. It speaks to his honesty. Such personalities are imperative for functioning demoncracies. Something the ANC politicians are yet to have figured out.
Seems like life doesn't make sense without the ANC does it ? ANC living rent free in your mind 😂😂😂😂
@blackmaverick1309 You have it backwards. As a matter of fact, "life" doesn't make sense with the ANC.
A great mayor
Imagine every province with leaders like this ✅🤞🇿🇦
Kakistocracy! Love it! Learnt a new word. Thank you
Police can't even answer a phone never mind track a phone call!
MR LEWIS WHAT A BOITJIE MAKE ME PROUD TO BE A CAPETONIA EVEN IF I AM ASHAMED TO BE A SOUTH ADRICAN
but why does Cape Town work, because its not really a BEEE run municipality
I feel exactly the same way - proudly Western Cape, not so much South Africa. Let's hope that with time, there will be more PUBLIC SERVANTS with the same moral compass as Mr Lewis.
What a fabulous guy!
Compare this man with any thing that the ANC or EFF can dish up.
There is no competition.
Leaders like him should give all of us hope. Even the ANC and EFF muppets
The CoCT takes forever to have plans approved.
So I think those NGO’s need to be named and shamed. Wasting money that could be used for the homeless. If I was a funding body I would be seriously worried about how that funding is being spent. If the majority of the funds goes on court cases and salaries then they need to be defunded because the money isn’t meant to prop up the workers and their opinions.
ANC
GHL always speaks so openly, honestly. Kudos mayor!
What a Mayor long may he lead our beautiful City
The initiatives are great the mayor is mentioning. Awareness campaigns should be organised to promote these services to all communities in terms of providing for the vulnerable and poor.
"Never ascribe to "malice" that which is adequately explained by incompetence" --Napoleon Bonaparte / Robert J. Hanlon
Cape Town has inherited/kidnapped/enveigled James Vos... Kidnapped is key word I personally think 😆 he is one of the most competent, likeable persons working in government...
WC really seems to work better than all other provinces....
What a mayor !
Kak comes from Cac, Greek, meaning nonsense, bad, unnecessary, etc. but NEVER actually meaning excrement😅. Can also be found in words such as cacophony.
There are few words in Afrikaans that are wrongly used as bad words. Poes is a Dutch word for cat. Slapped by a cat. Hot as a cat (on a hot tin roof). As angry as a cat. ALL makes more sense than the other way round.
Afrikaans in itself doesn't actually have "bad" words (name one), just "bad" minds using normal words in a "bad" way.
I hear the DA is doing a great job in Cape Town,is it like that throughout Cape town even in the township and black areas?
Did you miss the part where he talked about the houses being built in Kayelisha where they have to spend R15m on security to curb the mafia?
I don't know how the residential premises around Parliament can have no loadshedding simply because they're near Parliament, because I worked in Parliament for more than 30 years, ie since long before we started having loadshedding, and we certainly had most if not every single shift of loadshedding indicated by the app. We didn't even have UPSes to keep our PCs running until the generator kicked in, so we would have to switch them off, if we realised in time that a shift was about to start, that is, and switch them back on again when the mains power was off and the generator had kicked in, and then switch them off AGAIN when the shift was about to end, because the generator would first turn off before the mains power to that network could be restored!
Geordan is an IRON!!! Give him a Bells.
New Somerset Hospital is really good, the care is excellent.
On the water, we are on the lowest tariff which is now what used to be the drought tariff. They increased the minimum tariff at the end of the day zero nonsense which anyway would never have happened had proper infrastructure maintenance been carried out.
Which NGOs are halting the Castle evictions, Geordin ?
Mr Mayor, In Strand there is a supposedly Restaurant which is in fact a Night Club. 82 on Beach. We have suffered his total disregard of noise after 10pm. Despite Us residents reporting as well as your Noise pollution guys measuring at midnight and after. For over 3 years
I'm gona say this...we got some bad ass mutha fucking awesome MAYOR right!???
WTF first time in nearly 30 years that I have seen a white Mayor - should I rather say a competent mayor EISH there is hope.
Clearly this whitey don't know WC politics
Shame. I think he would actually be insulted that the first thing you notice of him that he is white.
@ulricgordon8586 white Daniel spoke about the "white" mayor.. my initial comment was about separating arts and politics.. keep that in mind
. He brought race into it!! I spoke about the DA.. not white.. but u just admitted something bigger
@@ulricgordon8586 Actually the point I am making is that it takes a white guy with integrity to get a city functioning correctly - you can take it as racist or whatever you wish I AM STATING A FACT
Show me a city run by the ANC cadre r soles that is functioning - it is about a gentleman who actually understands that the position of mayor is to SERVE the people not ROB AND STEAL AND BE CORRUPT - so call it as it is - the DA is getting it correct
and the mayor is doing a sterling job
@@daviddaniels3398HeartOfWorship I was responding Daniel's comment, not yours.
The state of clinics in South Africa is abysmal. I have spoken to about this, to roughly 100 people as a part of a research project. This research has been done with people who have no other option but to go to a clinic ,certainly not with for example Netcare??? No absolutely no. And the service is staggering, unbelievably incompetent. There are unfortunately many people in the Healthcare especially in provincial and state hospitals and of course the so called clinics. And all South Africans are tired of it. How many people told me they will rather die , than go through the process. None of the working class ,who earn salaries or have a' peacejob' for a day or two can afford to sit and wait for the clinic system to process them. More and more people are opting to just live with their conditions or even life threatening illness. Less traumatic than going for help. Can we be proud or supportive or peaceful about a system that is already broken.
Lets he runs for president
Never ascribe to conspiracy what can be better explained by incompetence. I think the ANC gets to much credit for being corrupt.
The phrase 'Hanlon's razor' was coined by Robert J. Hanlon, but it has been voiced by many people throughout history, as far back as 1774. Napoleon Bonaparte famously declared: 'Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.
You may well be wrong! Advancing National Corruption is both corrupt and incompetent.
⚽️⚽️❤its so sad that all people who pays rates and taxes got less rights than the people who breaks the law just by sqauttering all over City of Cape Town got more rights than the law abibding citizens.
The city must bring in more rules and bylaws.
Our country is in a bad state because of this unlawfullness.
People are just doing as it suites them because of the gowernments stupid constitution.
We as tax payers must just work for people who dont want bring changes in there lives.
I blame the ANC gowerment for all this problems.
There is a couple living almost straight across the road of SAPS Regional office in Cape Town. The couple's first child was born in the process, and the lady is pregnant again!!!
I hope that the mayor knows about this... Could you please inform him? 🙏
Check out how the land was acquired or coheres 🎉
No Darren it's not free. It's paid for collectively
How about a provincial major off???
american healthcare is not 100% private. American healthcare is heavily regulated and the state is heavily involved that's why its so expensive. I lived in the USA for 4 years. The government is terrible at everything. The more local a government is, the better it functions because the people live in their own communities. But big government sucks on the tax payer teet without providing much for its people.
Darren sounds like he constantly inhale helium
16:00. So the Metro Police needs permission from the SA Army to enter the premises but any hobo off the street can move in there and you can't throw them out without finding them alternate accommodation. Does anyone else see the irony in that?
When is the mayor going to clean up the streets of CT
Live in Durban then you will know what real dirty streets look like. People in WC don't appreciate what services are provided until they have lived in other provinces.
You lead the way and start. Keep us updated as to your progress.
Morning Mr Mayor - what are you doing about the construction mafia that work in council doing their best to do as little work as possible from the licensing to the plans departments ?
I think Geordan meant to call them ideologues and not idealogues....it certainly discribes them.
Mayor..... the 4 to 6 slot is the worst for me as well💙
💜🙏💜🇿🇦💜
Pay the contractor 'as and when'
Are the public objections not coming from the drug lords, " manufaturers?
R250k a bed? seems quite high.
Just call A CAPEXIT referendum or loose VOTERS DA.
Is Ricardo Mckenzie. Patrick Mckenzie's son ,?
So KFM is definitely favorable to the DA. When some of their committed fans are from all political walks of life..
Goodness me! We are all entitled to support a certain party! This is a democracy!
@489699 u don't get the point... yes we all are entitled but a radio station which we all listen to should be neutral..
@@daviddaniels3398HeartOfWorshiplisten to another radio station?
The overwhelming majority of western cape voters ate DA voters… and kfm only exists in the Western Cape. Do you see the connection? Also, I am sure you must agree this mayor is great, if not I would love to know why not
@clinthufkie3242 tell your mother in law what she must do
Catch a wake up guys till tok
This guy - is not in construction- he knows nothing about the industry and the “mafia” - just because the DA made him Mayor does not mean he knows everything or is intelligent Enuff to gain a bit of understanding
Ag PLEEZ Mr Mayor .. . I'm sure you have an inverter that can keep your water hot for 2 hours.....
No the inverter is for lights and tv, fridge. Anything that uses heat will blow the inverter, can’t even connect the kettle. You have to use gas for any warming stuff. Gas hot water is he way to go, heats the water as it runs through. As long as there is a tank connected (and it has gas) you will have hot water and your stove top.
Cape town is only beautiful for the rich and the outsiders.. but for the poor it's one of the worst places on earth. Unequal and rasist. Bad for informal small businesses.
I stay in cape Town but I've never experienced racism, mate....niyathanda spread nonsense
@@siyatise5165 good for you. Aren't you happy you've never experienced. You're 1 in a million. Kodwa mna I've experienced it. Uhlalaphi khe sidibane silungise le ye nonsense into. Kwekwe
Muizenberg? Why? Don't make sense
Jy is seker baie besig maar sal daarvan hou om bietjie meer Afrikaanse videos te sien.
I'm becoming rather desperate for a valid and preferably rational response to a question that arose more than a decade ago. Mayor Geordin's mentioning spending a billion on Escom, reminded me of the question.
In a nutshell, I smelt a large rat when
(1a) I encountered an organisation's varying budget figures that included a huge gap between a little less than 1 milliard and a little more than 1 billion, and
(1b) an article in a You magazine included a conversion between US Dollars and Rand that implied a rate of R11000 to the Dollar.
My investigation revealed that:
(2a) South Africa was mocked in Wikipedia for using the short or US scale in respect of large numbers, and disregarding its own official long scale, which I confirmed by obtaining a substantiating document from the SABS.
(2b) The Wikipedia article disclosed only half the truth; only English speakers used the short scale, while Afrikaans speakers, and people such as I, used the correct long scale, as evidenced by references to 'milliard' (miljard) during news broadcasts and in the Huisgenoot magazine. Is it not insane that SA has/had different official standards in different languages?
I later discovered that Britain had switched to the short scale in the mid-seventies and apparently South African English speakers simply did likewise. In my view the logical change is from short scale to long scale. A long scale trillion (18 zeros) is already a short scale quintillion, but the British apparently just followed the USA, as South African English speakers followed the UK.
Here is my question:
What is the current status in SA?
Has the official scale been altered or do English speakers still use the incorrect scale? Are there other countries that use the long scale?
Mayor either you slow or sold out to being politically correct
yes most beautiful city are the townships part of that beauty or is it mostly where white people stay.
Townships are part of the city because it's also nice and clean in the townships and people in townships also have whats in the city they must just look after there buildings and see that no one vandalize it
@@verajappie9998township was a apartheid designed what is called ghettos . it was designed for people of color now take a look at the townships again then compare it with Sea Point or Newlands or any other places where white people stays. what townships are you talking about ?
@@hartley1207 no bro, the townships were NEVER designed by apartheid man! ive never seen a white man EVER design anything in ANY township , its totally designed by the people that live there. They put up their own shacks ,roads and Elec and water . Sewage and rubbish is not a priority for them. Planting of trees for shade is also not a high priority ,unlike in the so called old white areas.
With NEW townships sprouting up every day, please explain how apartheid 25 years ago is somehow designing these new townships? I'm genuinely curious????
@@marky5493well it was the CITY COUNCIL OF CAPE TOWN THAT DESIGNED THE TOWNSHIP HOUSING PROJECT. YOU CAN GET . THE INFORMATION FROM THEM THEY HAVE THE RECORDS.. YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS. ARE YOU A RACIST ,IF YOU ARE THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THE DIFFERENCE. THE TOPIC WAS ON THE TOWNSHIPS . SO THAT WAS GOOD FOR US THAY WE WERE FORCED REMOVE FROM OUR HOUSES SO WHITE PEOPLE CAN JUST TAKE IT . THE SAME THE DID TO THE LAND. LOOK AT THE COMMENTS OF WHITE PEOPLE STILL WITH THE SAME MINDSET THAT RACISM CAN GO ON FOREVER. . IT BEEN A FAILURE .LOOK AT THE MESS SO YOU DON'T SEE A WHITE MAN DO ANYTHING IN THE TOWNSHIP. THE DAMAE HAS BEEN DONE BY WHITE PEOPLE.
Also.. the DA whose top is also 'pushing Monday Maths' when their leader is lowly educated!! What a shane
That's a stupid comment.
