  • Why the City of Cape Town Could and Should Budget to Spend More on Informal Settlement Taps and Toilets in 2020/2021
    budget OCTOBERanalysis 2020 1/9 A 1 CITY OF CAPE TOWN 26 OCTOBER 2020 A ASIVIKELANE LET’S PROTECT ONE ANOTHER VOICES OF INFORMAL SETTLEMENT RESIDENTS DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS WHY THE CITY OF CAPE TOWN COULD AND SHOULD BUDGET TO SPEND MORE ON INFORMAL SETTLEMENT TAPS AND TOILETS IN 2020/2021 by Carlene van der Westhuizen and Albert van Zyl, October 2020 Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, a 2018 study warned that in informal settlements “the unclean- liness of the existing sanitation facilities contributes to health issues like water-borne diseases.” 1 As the last six months of Asivikelane data show, large numbers of Cape Town informal settlement residents share communal taps and toilets, and these high-use facilities are not sufficiently maintained.2 These chal- lenges were highlighted by COVID-19, but they preceded it and will persist and escalate unless the City of Cape Town responds on a much larger scale. Our analysis shows that despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the City of Cape Town has not increased its budget allocations for informal settlements taps and toilets in its main 2020/21 budget or subsequent adjustment budgets. The City did, however, budget for an accumulated cash surplus of over R5 billion at the end of the current financial year. The City could therefore afford to scale up its delivery of informal settlement services significantly without posing a risk to its long-term fiscal health. Like every other government in the world, now is the time for the City to dig into its reserves to respond to the current crisis and prevent future crises.

A sub-place is defined by Statistics South Africa “is the second (lowest) level of the place name category, namely a suburb, section or zone of an (apartheid) township, smallholdings, village, sub- village, ward or informal settlement.” Suburb Overview, Demographic Profile, Economic Profile, Dwelling Profile, Household Services Profile 2011 Census Suburb Description 2011 Census suburb Bloubergstrand includes the following sub-places: Big Bay, Blouberg Sands, Bloubergstrand, West Beach. 1 Data Notes: The following databases from Statistics South Africa (SSA) software were used to extract the data for the profiles: Demographic Profile – Descriptive and Education databases Economic Profile – Labour Force and Head of Household databases Dwelling Profile – Dwellings database Household Services Profile – Household Services database In some Census suburbs there may be no data for households, or a very low number, as the Census suburb has population mainly living in collective living quarters (e.g. hotels, hostels, students’ residences, hospitals, prisons and other institutions) or is an industrial or commercial area. In these instances the number of households is not applicable. All tables have the data included, even if at times they are “0”, for completeness. The tables relating to population, age and labour force indicators would include the population living in these collective living quarters.

  • Patricia De Lille Patricia De Lille Is Mayor of Cape Town. She Is Also
    Patricia De Lille Patricia De Lille is Mayor of Cape Town. She is also Founder and Leader of the Independent Democrats Party. 1. A Pioneering Leader Patricia De Lille was born in 1951 in Cape Town. Her first job was as a laboratory technician in a chemical factory, and whilst working in this role she became a member of the South African Chemical Workers’ Union. De Lille quickly moved up the ranks of the trade union, rising from shop steward to regional secretary, to a member of the National Executive in 1983.i By 1988 De Lille had been elected Vice President of the National Trade Union Council, the highest position held by a woman in the trade union movement at the time.ii In 1989 De Lille was elected to the National Executive of the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC), which had close ties to the trade union movement. The PAC pursued Africanist policies for black South Africansiii, and at the time was outlawed under the Apartheid regime. De Lille led the PAC’s delegation in the constitutional negotiations that preceded South Africa's first democratic election in 1994, and was elected to Parliament as a member of the PAC in those first elections. She was also appointed Chairperson of the Parliamentary Committee on Transport in 1994 and was made the Chief Whip of the PAC.iv In April 2003 De Lille broke away from the PAC and formed a new party, the Independent Democrats (ID) which attracted a strong following amongst liberal voters.v In doing so, she became the first woman in South African history to start a political party which contested and won parliamentary seats.
