Tensions rise between GOOD Party and Cape Town City over marathon road closures

Tensions have escalated between the GOOD Party and the City of Cape Town over road closures for the Cape Town Marathon. GOOD claims that these closures prevented residents from reaching their workplaces, leading to lost wages. Major routes through the CBD, Atlantic Seaboard, and southern suburbs were affected, impacting neighborhoods like Woodstock and Salt River. Councillor Roscoe Palm stated that residents were 'effectively held hostage' by poorly communicated road closures.
