Who’s in the Room

It took three rounds of random sortition to fill the assembly. Not everyone invited was able to accept, so we kept drawing names until 91 members had confirmed their place, a citywide lottery weighted to reflect Cape Town itself. Every dot below is one of them, shown anonymously.
