Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis says he will focus on affordable housing and efforts to reduce the impact of rising electricity costs if he wins a second term. In his reelection campaign, he frames these priorities around growing cost-of-living pressures in Cape Town, described by outlets as South Africa’s main tourist hub. Hill-Lewis says he will “ramp up” measures aimed at expanding access to affordable housing. He also pledges to curb electricity price increases, presenting cheaper power as a way to ease household and business burdens. In addition to housing and energy, one outlet reports that his agenda includes reforms intended to improve conditions for businesses. The campaign messaging centers on the idea that addressing housing shortages and power affordability will help residents cope with higher living costs. The reports describe his plan as part of a broader platform for reelection, without detailing specific targets, funding sources, or policy timelines.
