What would it take for Cape Town to become the first African city to host the Olympic Games?

In this episode of the Africa Business of Sport Podcast, Edem and Jabu sit down with Rashiq Fataar, urban strategist and co-lead of the Cape Town 2040 think tank, to explore the city’s long-term vision, the risks and opportunities of hosting the Olympics, and how mega-events can drive urban transformation.

The trio unpack lessons from other host cities such as Paris 2024, the role of innovation and sustainability, and what it would mean for Cape Town to position itself as Africa’s next global city.
