It is with sadness that I have heard of the passing of David Bloomberg, former Mayor of Cape Town, who served on the City Council for 20 years and as Mayor from 1973 to 1975.

My condolences go out to the family, friends and loved ones of Mr Bloomberg, who lived a distinguished life and could celebrate many accomplishments throughout his life.

In 1973, Mr Bloomberg became Cape Town’s youngest mayor at the age of 41, and was well known for caring for those less fortunate in our communities, his role as theatre director and producer, for taking an active interest in promoting the arts and for authoring many books.
