Member of the Mayoral Committee for Safety and Security – Alderman JP Smith said that the Cape Town Cycle Tour has been a staple of the city’s event calendar, at least for five decades and is revered by cyclists across the globe.”
Smith added that it is an event that not only attracts thousands of people to our city during race week but has also provided a major boost to our economy annually.
