While all Mayco meetings in Cape Town are open to the public, they have traditionally been held in a boardroom at the Civic Centre. As a symbol of our commitment to openness and innovation, I am keen to host these meetings all around the city.  I want residents to see this administration in action and see our commitment to be more open and inclusive, because these meetings discuss items that directly affect residents. To set the tone for the next five years, we commit to hosting these meetings regularly in communities around the City.

We want Cape Town to set the standard for openness and transparency. The Mayoral Committee meetings are held regularly to discuss various proposals related to, among others, land use applications, finances, and infrastructure upgrades.

The hosting of this meeting directly in the community is a shake-up of the status quo. I am inspired and excited to take this City forward with fresh ideas, with greater engagement and participation.
