Summarization
Geordinhl, the Mayoral leader of Cape Town, is facing backlash regarding his opinion on Russia.

Debates on Russian involvement aside, the City of CT scored a win in enabling approved businesses and residents to sell their excess power to the City for cash. Geordinhl is also being criticized for his stance on the occupation of Palestine and other war crimes committed by NATO.
