Axolile Notywala
Axolile Notywala is a proportional representative councillor in subcouncil 16 of Cape Town, representing the Good party. He has been an outspoken advocate for equitable budget allocations in the city, highlighting the stark disparities in funding between affluent and impoverished areas, particularly between subcouncil 16 and the under-resourced subcouncil 9 in Khayelitsha, where he has lived for many years. Notywala's focus on social justice stems from his personal experiences of marginalization, and he emphasizes the need for municipalities to prioritize the needs of poor communities in their budgetary decisions.
