Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis delivers a stark warning about crime, policing and the deterioration of South Africa’s major cities.
His most explosive claim: when criminals face almost no consequences, crime becomes inevitable.
In this speech, Hill-Lewis contrasts Cape Town’s record on infrastructure, jobs, policing and energy with what he describes as accelerating decline elsewhere in South Africa.
He highlights a reported 4.7% conviction rate for illegal firearms in Cape Town, argues that criminals are repeatedly caught and released, and renews his demand for greater policing and investigative powers for the city.
Hill-Lewis also discusses Cape Town’s infrastructure spending, the creation of 420,000 jobs over five years, efforts to reduce dependence on Eskom, homelessness, urban decay and why he believes Cape Town must protect what it has built while pushing further.
