Brink said this at a presentation at the Atterbury Theatre in Pretoria on Tuesday when he presented his vision and priorities for the city.putting measures in place to reduce unplanned power and water outages;securing service infrastructure from vandalism and cable theft.
Speaking to the media, he said he was not fundraising but rather building confidence among the business community to make contributions to subsidising the city’s services. “Tshwane desperately needs wealthy people because those people subsidise services to the less wealthy. I don’t want them to go to Cape Town. I want them to stay here and invest here. That is why we have to speak to all. I think these partnerships are important to build a city that works for its people,” he said.
