The Cape Town CBD remains a prominent investment destination in spite of Covid-19 but buying the right property at the right price point is key, says Michael Bauer, managing director of SAProperty.com and the newest board member of the Cape Town Central City Improvement District (CCID).

NGOs that work with the homeless population in the Cape Town CBD are stretched “incredibly thin” due to an increase in the number of street people who are contracting the virus in the third Covid-19 wave, says Pat Eddy, manager of Social Development at the Cape Town Central City Improvement District (CCID).

Eddy says the organisations have less money but are having to cope with increased demands on them, with a hike in unemployment creating an upsurge in destitute, hungry people seeking basic services, psychosocial support and rehabilitation services.
