Mayor requests urgent SAPS briefing following probe at City offices

24 January 2025

Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis has requested an urgent briefing from SAPS following a raid at the offices of two Mayoral Committee Members on Friday 24 January.

‘I note the raid by authorities at the offices of Mayoral Committee members Aldermans JP Smith and Xanthea Limberg, who have informed me they’ve offered full cooperation to the SAPS but have not been made aware of the specific allegations at this stage. I’ve requested an urgent briefing from SAPS to understand the details of this matter and will determine the necessary further actions once this has been received,’ said Mayor Hill-Lewis.

‘In the earlier matter relating to Malusi Booi, I was offered and given a full briefing by SAPS, and have requested the same courtesy be extended to me in this matter as soon as possible,’ said Mayor Hill-Lewis.
