"It is a privilege to lead the City of Cape Town team. Our purpose is clear - to build a city that makes every Capetonian and South African proud, and demonstrates the best of what our country is capable of. We commit ourselves to delivering excellent and reliable basic services, and investing in infrastructure, so that each resident has the basic services required for a life of dignity and opportunity.

"We will also go further than before to secure Cape Town's future for all of our residents. This means working towards energy security to end load-shedding in Cape Town, expanding the crime fighting policy space to keep communities safer, and building a reliable public transport system.

"Join us in making Cape Town the great, thriving city it deserves to be."
