The travesty of the now infamous Gareth Cliff rant about the “irrelevance” of racist attitudes is not so much in what Cliff said but in what John Steenhuisen did not say. His response to Cliff’s tirade is a sad reflection of Steenhuisen’s pedestrian understanding of the tragic effect that race and racism continues to inflict on society.
There was an ironic twist in the broader context of the interview, which had delved into the DA’s disastrous attempt to score political points out of the racial tension in Phoenix. Ironic in the sense that the DA had themselves attempted to use race in a failed effort to buy favour from the Indian community. It was of course Steenhuisen who initially defended the poster before it was removed.
One of the central roles of municipalities, and therefore of councillors, is to address the race question from a spatial dimension. Spatial transformation, or the reconfiguration of our towns and cities from the backbone of their apartheid design into integrated and economically efficient spaces, remains a challenge that will confront the incoming cohort of councillors, as it has the past four local government administrations since full-scale democratic elections in 2000.
Municipalities are also critical in the fight against the pandemic of gender-based violence, with everything from the design of public open spaces, pavements, public lighting and providing safe spaces for victims of gender-based violence. These all have a role to play in the design of cities that are safe for inhabitants, particularly women, children and the vulnerable.
