CAPE Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis has hit back at President Cyril Ramaphosa’s attack on the City’s service delivery to poor areas in the metropole.

Ramaphosa kicked off the bekgeveg during a session of the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) on Tuesday, when he said that Mother City bosses were not making the lives of poor people better with a R40 billion, three-year, service delivery budget.

The president has come under fire for backtracking after telling ANC municipal councillors that Democratic Alliance (DA)-run municipalities are run better than their own last month.
