One of the brightest stars in South Africa's political firmament, 38-year-old Geordin Hill-Lewis opens up here on how his current responsibility - the City of Cape Town - is surprising everyone on the upside. The executive mayor celebrated a huge win this week after getting ratings agencies to differentiate between his city and its South African peers: something the former shadow Minister of Finance has pursued for years because of the massive impact lower borrowing costs bring. In this interview with BizNews editor Alec Hogg he also addresses Frans Cronje's warning about embracing possible political Trojan Horses (CT's ANC and EFF leaders recently crossed to the DA); and shares why he'd do whatever necessary to earn Cape Town a ‘free pass' from Washington.
In today's BizNews Briefing, host Alec Hogg shares highlights from powerful interviews with Cape Town executive mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis and California-based Anthony Ginsberg of GinsGlobal; and we hear from BizNews partners Bloomberg and the Financial Times about what is possible if Pretoria gets into step with global changes - a mining boom for rejuvenated Argentina; a successful White House meeting for Canada's new PM; and confirmation that trade talks between the US and China start this week in Switzerland.

Jahaja. Nu är vi i Kapstaden och det är svårt att beskriva om du inte varit här. Ordet "taffel" borde hur som helst återupplivas. Här i parlamentskvarteren slipper vi elavbrott och vi tror på borgmästaren, Geordin Hill-Lewis, som i princip är den enda politiker vi tror på. Vi talar om Uber och dess förare i Kapstaden, de vet allting och kommer nästan alltid från Zimbabwe eller Botswana, Deras förtroende för sydafrikanernas förmåga är begränsad. Trumps intresse för Grönland är intressant, men kanske borde han lyssna till Bo Krogvig. Politiken har blivit komedi. Kulturbudgeten är för snål, apropå Dansmuseets stängning. Mer pengar till kulturen! Låt dem drunkna i medel! Vi prisar Fredrik Sjöbergs unika förmåga, piskar Historiska museet för deras löjliga häxutställning och förlorar oss sedan i en lång grej om Ralph Lauren som till sist fått presidentens frihetsmedalj.

À trois jours des élections générales en Afrique du Sud, reportage au Cap dont l'opposition a fait sa vitrine. Avec sa bonne gouvernance, l'Alliance démocratique veut montrer que le pays tout entier pourrait être bien géré de la sorte, à condition de voter pour eux. L'Alliance démocratique (DA) peut compter sur un atout de taille : le maire du Cap, la ville portuaire d'Afrique du Sud. Grand gaillard, jeune et sympathique, Geordin Hill-Lewis fait campagne, du porte-à-porte, alors que son mandat n'est pas en jeu. « Ce que j'aime le plus, c'est cela... Pas les bons déjeuners en ville, affirme-t-il. Il n'y rien de mieux que de rencontrer les gens chez eux. »Le maire est ici dans sa zone de confort, dans un quartier de la communauté métisse, majoritaire dans la province et fidèle à l'Alliance démocratique. « Bien sûr que je suis électeur DA ! s'exclame fièrement Steven, rencontré au cours du tractage. Je n'ai pas peur de le dire, regardez notre quartier, c'est propre. C'est ce qui fait la marque de la DA, mais pas que : pas de problèmes, pas d'ennuis, c'est le principal ! »Le maire du Cap admet qu'il fait plus facile de faire campagne ici qu'ailleurs : « On ne prend rien pour acquis, explique-t-il. C'est ce qui fait la différence avec nous, on apprécie chaque vote, car chaque vote peut faire la différence entre notre victoire et notre défaite. Donc, on doit considérer chaque électeur avec sérieux, au contraire de l'ANC qui ne s'intéresse pas aux gens. »À lire aussiAfrique du Sud: au dernier jour de campagne, l'opposition veut «clore le chapitre du règne de l'ANC»Le Congrès national africain, l'ANC, au pouvoir à l'échelle nationale, a perdu la province depuis quinze ans. Cameron Dugmore, chef de l'opposition provinciale, contredit le discours qui fait de la province la vitrine de l'Alliance démocratique. « Quand ils prétendent que la province est bien gérée, on leur rétorque qu'elle l'est pour une petite élite, nuance-t-il. Elle ne fonctionne pas bien pour la majorité. Bien qu'il y ait des pauvres et des riches partout dans ce pays, ici, il y a presque une volonté délibérée de ne pas atteindre l'égalité dans l'accès aux services de base. »Loin dans les sondages, l'ANC ne devrait pas reprendre la main sur la province, sauf en cas de coalition.

Die Stad Kaapstad se burgemeester, Geordin Hill-Lewis, sê die stad se jaarlikse Infrastruktuur-verslag bevestig die vooruitbeplande projekte van 120 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand oor tien jaar is steeds op dreef. Die metro se beleggings in infrastruktuur verdwerg dié van ander stede in die land. Hill-Lewis sê hulle beskerm die stad teen toekomstige gebreke deur veel meer as enige ander metro in infrastruktuur te belê. Hy sê die metro gaan 43 miljard rand oor die volgende drie jaar belê wat meer is as Johannesburg en Durban saam:
