He says leadership is not about position, but about responsibility.
“It’s about being a good steward and it’s about how you carry the lives of others in every decision you make. Cape Town doesn’t lack potential; what it lacks is the build in shift priorities and leadership to match that urgency for the people,” he says.
Solomons says the next chapter for Cape Town must be a deliberate shift from stability to shared progress where growth, safety, and opportunities are experienced right across the city.
“I’m not stepping up to lead the city because I believe the city is broke. I’m stepping up because I believe it is unfinished,” he adds.
