Issues of heritage, sports facilities and community building were on the agenda during a visit to Bo-Kaap by ANC Deputy Secretary-General Jessie Duarte on Thursday.
Traditionally, Bo-Kaap had been a DA stronghold, but over 10 years, support has dropped. In the national and provincial elections the ANC increased its support from 17.96% in 2014 to 41.60% in 2019. ReadDuarte visited two homes and then took part in a community meeting. During Duarte’s first home visit, a couple, Baderoenaesa and Yusuf Bosch, complained about paying high rates of R3,000 despite being pensioners.
Jacky Poking, an activist who has lived in the area and helped in the fight against high-rise developments in the area, said there was a similar problem of a lack of facilities across all sporting codes. On issues of safety and security, Duarte said the party could put pressure on their representatives in the legislature who are responsible for issues such as safety, to “step up”. The important thing was to empower Poking, but she “must be held accountable”., Poking said it had been asked whether Bo-Kaap wanted to submit a candidate for the municipal elections, and her name came up. The next question was to decide if she was going to stand as an independent candidate or as part of the ANC.
“You’ll find their residents at Heritage Western Cape fighting development and their voices are not being heard.”“Except we don’t talk to each other. The way spatial planning is… we are in our neighbourhood, they’re in their neighbourhood… and we don’t realise those problems we also have and we can actually tackle it together.”
Rather try and govern properly

Niehaus will have to produce record of work he did for the ANC: Pule MabeDismissed ANC staffer Carl Niehaus will have to provide evidence of the work he did for the party - at least since party secretary-general Ace Magashule's suspension. Carl Niehaus was ANC ghost worker. He get his pay from an ANTI-ANC organization called RET that's where his loyalty is We all saw his stellar efforts. Teaching people to chant, 'We are Msholozi.
