Give us more policing power and the right to run passenger rail, Cape Town asks GNU

The City of Cape Town’s top requests for the Government of National Unity (GNU) are for municipal police to have the powers to investigate crime; the devolvement of passenger rail to the city; the release of national mega-properties for affordable housing; the increase of social housing subsidies and to stop grant cuts; and for national government to cut red tape to allow for economic growth. Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis this week outlined Cape Town’s advocacy agenda for the GNU to the city council.
