I love Cape Town, it is one of the most beautiful cities in SA and, quite frankly, in the world.

Its ethereal beauty, punctuated by majestic and contrasting landscapes, is a sight to behold.

But Cape Town is also a mirror of the ugliness of our history and present — an ugliness that is born of our amoral past and perpetuated in the democratic dispensation by ideologically flawed policies from regressive political parties that have no real desire to facilitate meaningful change.
