Spending where it matters will see Cape Town flourish

At the end of March, we tabled the fourth - and second-last - budget of this term of office.

We will soon conclude public participation on the budget and then vote in Council to adopt it. Looking back on the past three and a half years, it is encouraging to see so many of our biggest infrastructure investments and milestones being realised and reached. Initially, the ever-increasing targets of pipe replacements, road repairs, power procurement and affordable housing seemed daunting. But we have stuck to our promise of increasing our infrastructure spending on each new budget, and we are 100% on track to deliver what we pledged.
