Cape Town is no advert for good governance.

I was involved with the transfer of a property in Cape Town in 2019. The seller's municipal account has still not been closed. This should have happened within weeks. There is no-one to correspond with - you have to phone a call centre and repeat yourself to different people and end up having to resubmit documents over and over. The DA purports to run local governments effectively but there is a vacuum somewhere in the City of Cape Town to do with rates and valuations where everything simply dies.
