DA member breaks ranks with Ward 67 councillor ahead of elections

Sidwell Kweba, a community activist from Phumlani Village and registered Democratic Alliance member, says he will not vote for incumbent Ward 67 councillor Geraldine Gordon in Cape Town. He says residents and local DA members do not want her returned, arguing that party loyalty should not dictate support for a candidate facing local opposition. Ward 67 includes Phumlani Village, Lotus River, Eagle Park and parts of Grassy Park. Kweba’s criticism comes as residents demand a new school, recreational facilities, regular waste collection and improved communal toilets.
