What happens when the Mayor of Cape Town sits down with KG? You get a brutally honest convo about who the city really works for. From 600 000 people stuck in housing limbo to the rise of digital nomads and Gauteng “semi-grants” flooding the Cape, the Mayor defends why prices are soaring and why he thinks that’s a “good sign.” They unpack the city’s crime crisis, the Airbnb debate, and whether Cape Town is slowly becoming a city only the wealthy can live in.
