Brett HerronGUEST
So currently we have the army, we have SAPs, and we have these law enforcement officers called LEAP officers who are supposedly working in the crime hotspots in Cape Town, and none of that is reducing crime or murder or gangsterism.
Brett HerronGUEST
I don't understand a president, a premier, and a mayor who can land at the N2 airport, drive on the N2 highway, knowing that they have the budget, the administration, and the power to change what they see and not do so for 32 years.
Sizwe Mpofu-WalshHOST
Spread the fire.
Sizwe Mpofu-WalshHOST
Welcome back to SMWX.

Brett HerronGUEST
So we need to be invested far more in community development And the fastest way we're going to disrupt the ability for gangs to recruit young people is to give them an alternative.
Brett HerronGUEST
And that has to be skills programs to enable them to find employment.
Sizwe Mpofu-WalshHOST
You have very outspokenly been against the building of the wall along the N2.
Sizwe Mpofu-WalshHOST
Recent polling by ANC and Mark Data just revealed that actually majority of Capetonians are actually in favor of the wall.
Brett HerronGUEST
On either end? On either end.
Brett HerronGUEST
And I don't believe, what I don't understand is how a president, a premier, a mayor can land at Cape Town International Airport, drive on the N2 highway and see all those shacks and those toilets that are leaning over, have the power, have the budget, have the administration, and do nothing about it.
Brett HerronGUEST
For 40 years, those people have been living like that.
Brett HerronGUEST
So there is something missing in our political leadership when you can just drive past that stuff and you are numb to what you see.
Brett HerronGUEST
Because especially when you have the capacity and the budget and all of that to do something about it.
Brett HerronGUEST
And so when people living alongside the N2 or anywhere on Cape Town in those conditions are giving up on politicians and politics, I don't blame them.
Brett HerronGUEST
And it's really hard to go to them and say, but it's not us.
Brett HerronGUEST
We would like to change this.
Dinaon PahleleHOST
But the party's mayoral candidate says they are not saying sorry.
Dinaon PahleleHOST
The party erected the election campaign advert on the N2 in northern Durban last month.
Dinaon PahleleHOST
The faces of Mayor Cyril Taba, City Manager Musam Bele and Water and Sanitation Technical Services head Ednik Musweli appeared on it, alongside a caption about stopping the water mafia.
Dinaon PahleleHOST
They went to court to force the DA to take the messages down on all platforms.
Chris SteynHOST
two weeks time.
Wayne SussmanGUEST
And that is the erection of the wall barrier on the N2.
Wayne SussmanGUEST
Let's see.
Wayne SussmanGUEST
OK, so I'm saying it's neck and neck here.
Wayne SussmanGUEST
The DA should be somewhat concerned.
Wayne SussmanGUEST
Let's look at the final question.
Wayne SussmanGUEST
Do you support the building of the proposed N2 wall? Almost 70% of respondents are in favor here.
Wayne SussmanGUEST
That is an overwhelming majority of respondents in this ENCA Mark Data Survey saying they support this.
Zimasa VabazaHOST
But the longest road, it is not.
Zimasa VabazaHOST
That figure goes to the N2.
Zimasa VabazaHOST
It stretches 2,255 kilometers from the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town all the way to Ermelo in Mpumalanga.
Zimasa VabazaHOST
It wraps around the country, going on the coast through the Garden Route, Gqeberha, East London, Durban, and it's a scenic route.
Zimasa VabazaHOST
These are perishable time-sensitive goods.
Zimasa VabazaHOST
A refrigerated container leaving a farm in the Hex River Valley in the Western Cape needs to reach the Port of Cape Town before the cold chain starts to break.
Zimasa VabazaHOST
Sanral's maintenance of the N1 and the N2 is not just a road safety issue, it's an agricultural export issue.
Zimasa VabazaHOST
It's about the economy.
Mawande MatezaCORRESPONDENT
Thank you, Lester.
Mawande MatezaCORRESPONDENT
Good news for those traveling on the N2.
Mawande MatezaCORRESPONDENT
That earlier accident has been cleared just before Airport Approach Road, but there is still slow-moving traffic from Spine Road and in Nyanga, traffic lights faulty at Govan Mbeki and M's Drive.
Mawande MatezaCORRESPONDENT
The M5, that's still clear at the moment.
Zimasa VabazaHOST
This is the case here in Mthatha.
Zimasa VabazaHOST
On the N2 close to town, people have now had to be relocated because Sanral is looking to expand the road, which they rightfully own the land next to.
Zimasa VabazaHOST
So there is a little bit of that skirting the rules a little bit.
Zimasa VabazaHOST
There's also in all of this economic opportunity that rural land ownership represents for chiefs and tribal authorities.
Dani PainterHOST
The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, Dean McVeason, took the illegal occupation of state land near Grabouw to the West Cape High Court.
Dani PainterHOST
The property of 2,000 hectares along the N2 is already being occupied for years.
Dani PainterHOST
McVeason says the occupation has ruined forestry projects.
