Bronwyn Williams & Geordin Hill-Lewis | The Small Print

In this episode, Bronwyn speaks to the Mayor of Cape Town, Geordin Hill-Lewis. They discuss Geordin’s journey into politics, Cape Town’s homelessness crisis, how his office plans to manage the influx of people moving to Cape Town, the feasibility and desirability of a Cape secession movement, how Cape Town manages to outspend all other major cities on infrastructure, the complexity of coalition politics, and Geordin’s political aspirations.

Bronwyn Williams is a futurist, economist, trend analyst and host of The Small Print. Her day job as a partner at Flux Trends involves helping business leaders to use foresight to design the future they want to live and work in. You may have seen her talking about Transhumanism or Tikok on Carte Blanche, or heard her talking about trends on 702 or CNBC Africa where she is a regular expert commentator. When she's not talking to brands and businesses about the future, you will probably find her curled up somewhere with a (preferably paperback) book. She tweets at @bronwynwilliams.
