Ayesha Mahatey: For a cleaner, greener, safer Ward 60
Ayesha Mahatey is a Rondebosch East local running for Ward Councillor as part of GOOD. Born and bred in Cape Town, she holds a Master of Arts degree from UCT. She is committed to achieving a just and equitable society as part of the GOOD Party movement which embodies the values she stands for in her personal and professional life.
She believes there is a growing cost of living crisis in Cape Town due to unaffordable rates, bureaucracy and red tape (which particularly disadvantages the elderly), and sky-rocketing property prices. Despite this unaffordability being a point of pride for the current DA-led administration, Ayesha wishes to combat rising expenses for locals.
She is particularly passionate about encouraging women to become politically active and take up leadership positions.

Strategic Community Action
Crime
Ayesha is committed to achieving walkable neighbourhoods across the entire ward, eliminating hubs for crime, and prioritising the safety of all residents.
Costs
Bringing management excellence to Ward 60, ensuring administrative transparency and efficient use of public resources. We want to help residents bring down the cost of living!
Competence
Ayesha's goal is to ensure EVEN SERVICE DELIVERY across the ward through concentrated maintenance efforts, increasing green spaces, and on the ground efforts to improve the lives of residents.
Priorities: Action, Competence, and Safety for Ward 60
We have been collecting responses from residents and have compiled a list of issues to be prioritised in Ward 60.
Crime and Safety
Many residents want to feel safe walking the neighbourhood. Safer streets can be achieved through increasing patrols, better lit walkways and paths, and working with SAPS to improve response time and access to resources. We will prioritize visible policing, community safety networks, and modern technology to fight crime in Ward 60.
Cable Theft
Areas like Lansdowne and Wetton are hotspots for cable theft, a high priority criminal offence, which puts residents and perpetrators at risk. Through specialised patrols in cooperation with the Metal Theft Unit, we can put an end to cable theft in the affected areas.
Ayesha is currently working with the Metal Theft Unit to roll out their drone patrol initiative in the area.
Rising Municipal Costs
Advocating for fair rates, expanded indigent support, and smart city infrastructure to lower monthly utility burdens for our residents.
Our ward committee would be dedicated to assisting elderly residents and all others in overcoming the bureacratic challenges associated with rising rates and increased costs without any improvement in service delivery
Greenspace and
Parks
We are dedicated to improving the aesthetics of the ward by maintaining and creating better walkways, planting more trees, and focusing on conservation and cleaning up pollution and litter in the area. Families of Ward 60 deserve the same level of parks and green spaces found in other parts of the city.
