Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis then realised just how much the ANC comrades enjoy living in the DA-run city. He took a swipe at both President Cyril Ramaphosa and Deputy President Paul Mashatile in a recent Instagram post with the caption:
“Looks like both President Ramaphosa and Deputy President Mashatile enjoy living in the DA-led Cape Town. It must be tough explaining to their ANC ‘comrades’ that life is better in the best-run city in South Africa.”
South Africans were amused by the mayor’s words and agreed with him in a thread of over 300 comments.

Social media users loved how spicy the mayor was and shared their thoughts with him:
@candicejoywilliams giggled:
“Our Mayor is so spicy.”
@morningglorywithtori said:
“How they can sleep at night in a R28 million mansion while people starve just down the road will always have me scratching my head.”
@winwithsashin commented:
“This is written as if I were blind and saw no colour. As if race never existed and separated us, and if 100% of South Africans were wealthy with no corruption and crime.
If every city in South Africa were 50% of how Cape Town was run, South Africa would be the best country in the world to live in.”
@shawnvoges highlighted:
“DA, we will continue to vote for you! No one better!”

“Yes, they love the Western Cape cause here they get service delivery, as our DA leaders don't discriminate and have a clean audit, they work for the community!”
@marvin_pheiffer asked:
“Can we investigate this? How does Paul afford this mansion?”
@kerry.harrison. Sighed:
“They have no shame.”
@tonybluetooth commented:
“Yes, they don't have to drive on the N2 with rows of lights out and cows and horses.”
