Brett Herron highlights concerns about Cape Town’s electricity costs and the City’s practice of deducting prepaid electricity units to recover outstanding debt, including debt owed by landlords or property owners rather than residents. An Affordable City means ensuring residents are not unfairly burdened by debts they do not owe. GOOD proposes reviewing the City’s credit control policy so residents can access the electricity they pay for, with fair procedures, accountability and protection against deductions made without an opportunity to dispute the debt. #GOODParty #BrettHerron #CapeTown #LGE2026 #AnAffordableCity #Electricity #fyp

GOOD hosted a Mother City screening in Woodlands, Mitchells Plain; bringing residents together to engage with Cape Town’s housing crisis and the need for dignified, affordable accommodation. Residents deserve dignified accommodation, better living conditions and practical solutions to the housing challenges they face. Through its commitment to A Housed City, GOOD proposes addressing the need for alternative accommodation for seniors, improving housing conditions and ensuring that commitments made to communities are followed by clear plans and action. #GOODParty #CapeTown #Welbedacht #MotherCity #LGE2026 #fyp

Brett Herron urged voters to assess the City’s track record, question whether past promises have been delivered and examine what different parties have done in council. A City With A Say means ensuring residents have a meaningful voice in decisions affecting their communities. GOOD calls for stronger public participation and greater accountability, arguing that residents should be able to scrutinise government decisions, protect community assets and assess political parties on both their plans and their record in public service. #GOODParty #BrettHerron #CapeTown #LGE2026 #ACityWithASay #PublicParticipation #fyp

Brett Herron, GOOD’s Cape Town mayoral candidate, is calling for greater decision-making power for sub-councils, including control over community budget allocations in consultation with residents, so local needs can be addressed closer to where people live. A City With A Say means giving communities a meaningful role in local government. GOOD proposes piloting devolved powers in selected sub-councils during the first year, followed by an independent review before expanding the model across Cape Town. #GOODParty #BrettHerron #CapeTown #LGE2026 #ACityWithASay #PublicParticipation #fyp

GOOD Ward 89 candidate Ernest Funani, alongside Brett Herron, met with Ward 89 residents in Site B, Khayelitsha, to hear concerns about sanitation, refuse removal, crime, street lighting and unequal access to EPWP employment opportunities. An Equitable City means ensuring that both formal and informal settlements receive fair access to municipal services, safer streets and employment opportunities. Residents also need responsive local government that works with community organisations and addresses long-standing service delivery concerns. #GOODParty #CapeTown #Khayelitsha #LGE2026 #AnEquitableCity #ASaferCity #AWorkingCity #fyp

Brett Herron, GOOD’s Cape Town mayoral candidate, met with residents in Site C, Khayelitsha, to provide feedback on the asbestos housing concerns raised by the community and share the official response received. Residents deserve safe, dignified homes, and A Housed City means addressing asbestos housing concerns with clear answers, accountability and action to protect communities’ health and living conditions, ensuring residents are not left waiting for solutions to issues that affect their safety and well-being. #GOODParty #BrettHerron #CapeTown #LGE2026 #AHousedCity #HousingJustice #fyp

GOOD representatives met with residents of Covid Informal Settlements in Ward 118 to follow up on the stalled road construction project, which has yet to resume, with no explanation given to the community. GOOD’s pledge for An Equitable City focuses on ensuring that all communities receive the same standard of infrastructure and services. Residents deserve answers about the delays and action to ensure that road projects are completed, rather than being left waiting without information. #GOODParty #CapeTown #LGE2026 #AnEquitableCity #Ward118 #ServiceDelivery

Brett Herron highlights the importance of open and transparent communication in government, arguing that meaningful public consultation can help prevent unnecessary frustration when decisions affect people’s lives. From the sale of public assets to proposed data centres, residents need timely access to information and opportunities to engage before decisions are made. A City With A Say means moving beyond outdated communication methods and ensuring that people can understand the potential benefits, costs and consequences of government decisions before they are implemented. #GOODParty #BrettHerron #CapeTown #LGE2026 #PublicParticipation #fyp

A resident from Covid informal settlements described the lack of water, toilets and electricity at a community meeting in Green Park. After a fire destroyed their electricity supply, residents are left using candles, while years of broken promises have eroded their faith in voting. A Housed City must mean more than putting a roof over people’s heads. It must include access to basic services, dignified living conditions and infrastructure that communities can rely on. Residents deserve accountability from their elected representatives and meaningful action to address the conditions they continue to live in. #GOODParty #CapeTown #LGE2026 #AHousedCity #InformalSettlements #fyp

Cape Town cannot remain a tale of two cities one filled with opportunity and the other left struggling to survive. GOOD’s six pledges set out a vision for a city that works for every resident, regardless of their income, background or where they live. 🏠 A Housed City — decent, affordable housing closer to opportunities. 💰 An Affordable City— easing the cost-of-living pressure on households. ⚖️ An Equitable City— confronting spatial apartheid and addressing inequality. 🛡️ A Safer City — creating safer communities for all. 🤝 A Trusted City — building a government that listens, acts transparently and is accountable to residents. 💼 A Working City— creating sustainable jobs and expanding economic opportunities. These pledges are about building a Cape Town where public resources serve the people, communities are not left behind, and every resident has a fair chance to thrive. One city. One standard. Equal opportunities for all. #GOODParty #CapeTown #LGE2026 #SixPledges #OneStandard

Cape Town cannot move forward while the legacy of spatial apartheid continues to keep people far from opportunities. Families are pushed to the outskirts of the city, spending hours commuting and more money on transport just to access jobs, schools and essential services. Affordable housing must bring people closer to where life happens. By making better use of well-located land in and around the inner city, we can create communities where residents have easier access to employment, public transport and essential services. GOOD’s Housed City pledge focuses on addressing spatial injustice and making affordable housing part of building a more equal Cape Town. A city for everyone, not just those who can afford to live close to opportunity. One standard for every street, suburb and community. #GOODParty #CapeTown #LGE2026 #HousedCity #SpatialJustice

Brett Herron, GOOD CPT Mayoral Candidate, in Lentegeur to discuss pressing service delivery challenges with the community, including electricity and water issues, park concerns, and much-needed answers regarding the housing database. As part of GOOD's Housed City manifesto pledge, we are committed to building a city where well-located, affordable housing is a priority, and where families no longer languish on endless, broken housing waiting lists. Grounded in our A Trusted City pledge, residents must have a real say over their communities through open and transparent decision-making. 🧡🏡 #BrettforMayor #ServiceDelivery #LGE2026
