CAPE TOWN - The possibility of Cape Town hosting a Formula 1 GP is in line with the city administration's goal of establishing the Mother City as the events capital of South Africa.
Mayoral committee member Grant Pascoe, responsible for tourism, events, and marketing. said: "Events of this magnitude bring huge benefits for all Capetonians in the form of tourist rands, increased exposure, and investment. I look forward to working with the stakeholders."
LONG ROAD AHEAD
However, there was a long road ahead before this could be realised; the city had not even been approached with a proposal to host the event.
"We will only consider the prospect of hosting the event once we have a proposal."
The proposal would then have to go through all council processes, including public participation, to ensure that the views of the local residents were known.
"We will also have to partner with the provincial and national governments to make this dream a reality," Pascoe said.
