The GOOD Party has raised concerns over the Democratic Alliance's (DA) alleged use of the City of Cape Town Council Chamber for a party political gathering, amid ongoing virtual council meetings.

Councillor Sandra Dickson highlighted the inconsistency of allowing such events in the chamber while formal meetings remain online, questioning transparency and equal access to public facilities.

She argued that the Council Chamber should prioritize democratic functions like budget debates and service delivery discussions, rather than party activities.The GOOD Party is demanding disclosure of who authorized the event, whether the DA paid for venue costs, and if municipal resources were used.They also called for equal access for opposition parties.

The controversy underscores tensions over the separation of municipal resources from party politics, with critics accusing the DA of exploiting public infrastructure for internal meetings.The DA has not yet commented, and the story remains under review.
