24 Oct. 2019

"The Mother City’s beaches have been awarded Blue Flag status yet again, as 10 of Cape Town’s most-loved beaches have achieved international accreditation due to their excellence.

To receive Blue Flag status, beaches must meet 33 criteria covering four categories, namely environmental education and information, water quality, environmental management and safety and services.

The Cape Town beaches that achieved the status are: Bikini Beach, Gordons Bay; Camps Bay; 4th Beach, Clifton; Fish Hoek; Llandudno; Melkbosstrand; Mnandi; Muizenberg; Silwerstroomstrand; and Strandfontein.

Seaforth beach is still within its trial period and its status is yet to be announced."
 
Controversial R14-bn development approved
https://www.capetownetc.com/news/controversial-r14-bn-development-approved/
27 Oct. 2019

"On Thursday, October 24, the Municipal Planning Tribunal approved a R14-billion development which will go up in the Mother City’s Foreshore district.

According to News24, the Harbour Arch development will be the largest of its kind in the city centre. The area where the mixed-use development will go up was purchased by Amdec from Transnet for R14-billion."
Surely if the site was purchased for 14 billion, the development will cost more than that?

City Sightseeing’s first female skipper
https://www.capetownetc.com/news/city-sightseeings-first-female-skipper/
30 Oct. 2019

City Sightseeing, the company who operates the iconic Red Buses and the red harbour and canal cruises in the V&A Waterfront, are delighted to congratulate one of their own who is making a big splash in the Cape Town Harbour. Avuyile Mqulo (26) has been welcomed as the first female skipper on the team as well as the only female skipper operating across the boating companies in the V&A Waterfront.

“City Sightseeing has a team of exceptional ladies, from the tour and admin offices to the bus drivers and we are so proud to welcome our first female skipper to the team!” said Marketing Manager Mandi Jarman.

Avuyile has recently received her SAMSA qualifications and has taken up her position on board as one of the licensed skippers of the City Sightseeing harbour tours. As the captain of her own cruise boat, she has the responsibility of giving sightseers the best possible experience on the water. She has been trained to not only captain a vessel but navigate harbour waters and tend to passengers.

Avuyile says she was inspired to take on the training thanks to the encouragement of her colleagues. Now she navigates the V&A harbour and canals, as she welcomes locals and tourists aboard her boat to show them the sights around the harbour, from the great ships to the playful seals.

Join City Sightseeing at the V&A Waterfront for an exceptional tour around the harbour with Avuyile and her fellow skippers aboard their iconic red harbour cruisers. Bring your family and friends and hop on the boat to take up a seat as the harbour waves lightly lap at the side of the barge.

Your Captain will point out the harbour’s most famous sights and landmarks, including the Clock Tower, the SAS Somerset Boom Vessel, and the V&A Waterfront’s famous swing bridge. Keep your eyes out for the harbour’s resident performers; the Cape Fur Seals love to show off their water dances when they’re not catching some much-needed z’s in the sun.

You can also catch one of the canal cruises, the best way to get from the Waterfront to the CBD. Sit back for a leisurely, winding cruise along the canals as your skipper ferries you from the V&A Waterfront to the CTICC. You can hop off the boat to visit the Battery Park or one of the hotels that dot the canals, making it the best way to visit the V&A Waterfront during your stay in Cape Town.

Earn your sea legs and buy your 1 Day combo Canal and Harbour Cruise ticket online for exclusive discounts and hassle-free
sightseeing. It’s the best way to see Cape Town’s historic working harbour.

Cape Town: second wealthiest city in Africa
https://www.capetownetc.com/news/cape-town-second-wealthiest-city-in-africa
5 Nov. 2019

A recent report finds that Cape Town is the most expensive city for residential property and the second wealthiest city in Africa.

The 2019 AfrAsia Bank Africa Wealth Report provides a comprehensive review of the wealth sector in Africa, including high net-worth individual (HNWI) trends, luxury trends and wealth management trends in 17 countries and 20 cities across the continent.

The report states that South Africa is the wealthiest African market, taking top spot of the “Big Five” wealth markets, above Egypt, Nigeria, Morocco and Kenya. The report also states that South Africans are the second wealthiest individuals in Africa after Mauritians, with an average wealth of $11 5000 per person.

Total wealth refers to the private wealth held by all the individuals living in each country, and includes all the assets (property, cash, equities, business interests) less any liabilities.

The continent accounts for 16% of the world’s population and 1% of the total wealth worldwide.

Africa’s total wealth market sits at $2.2-trillion. About 42% of this amount is owned by HNWI’s. There are 140 000 millionaires, 6 900 multi-millionaires, 310 centi-millionaires and 23 billionaires currently living in Africa.

With 39 2000 millionaires, 2070 multi-millionaires, 94 centi-millionaires and 5 billionaires, South Africa has more than twice as many HNWI’s than any other African country.

Thus, it comes as no surprise that many South African cities are among the wealthiest. The report shows that Cape Town is the second wealthiest city in Africa after Johannesburg, with a total wealth of $133-billion in the city. Durban and Umhlanga are also in the top five.

It also shows that Cape Town is the most expensive city for residential property in Africa. According to the report, residential property in the Mother City costs an average of $5 600 per square metre, double that of Umhlanga and Johannesburg.

Criminals loot CT library, make off with R62k worth of items
https://www.all4women.co.za/1881441...-ct-library-make-off-with-r62k-worth-of-items
6 Nov. 2019

"Brazen criminals looted all manner of equipment and vandalised infrastructure at the City of Cape Town’s Retreat Library on Sunday evening, making off with items to the value of R62 000…

As a result, the City has decided to close the library until further notice.
In a statement, mayoral committee member for community services and health Zahid Badroodien detailed how equipment [computers and monitors] and infrastructure inside the library was either taken or damaged.

He said criminals were able to enter the library, “despite four layers of security” ...

Badroodien [mayoral committee member] revealed that, to date, there had been 58 insurance claims for incidents at 30 City libraries – totaling in the region of R578 000, which takes the City’s claims to close to a million rand."

Crafts and fall-off-the-bone brisket at the family-friendly, dog-friendly monthly summer market

"There’s no shortage of summer markets in Cape Town, but the Kirstenbosch Craft & Food Market has to be one of the nicest. There’s live jazz, it’s family and dog-friendly, and set under huge, leafy trees close to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. It’s also a Cape Town institution – it’s been running for around 30 years.

The market will be held on 24 November, 8 and 22 December at the historic Stone Cottage grounds. It’s scheduled to run on the last Sunday of the month until March, but the other dates have not been set yet.

UCT’S JAZZ STUDENTS WILL PROVIDE THE MUSIC
The market takes place on the lawns, where people can lay out picnic blankets. Or you can sit at a table with chairs and listen to music by UCT’s jazz students, led by Associate Professor Michael Campbell, Head of Jazz Studies at UCT. There’s also a tea garden.

IT’S STRICTLY A CRAFT MARKET
What’s unique about the Kirstenbosch Craft & Food Market is that it features exclusively handmade items from around 250 traders. There’ll be art, pottery, woven goods, baskets, clothing, ceramics, leather goods, jewellery, handbags, light fittings, woodwork and toys, among other goods.

Stalls also sell fresh produce and pantry staples such as cheese, honey and jam, plus there’ll be a braai, as well as Indian, Halaal, vegan and vegetarian foods. Meat-eaters are also catered for, with everything from shawarmas to an incredible brisket by Hungry Bear.

ATTENDING THE KIRSTENBOSCH CRAFT AND FOOD MARKET
Entry to the market is free of charge. For more information, contact the organisers directly on +27(0)74 333 2170 or kboschmarket@gmail.com. You can bring your dog on a leash."

[My comment: Ah...Kirstenbosch ... restores the soul. When I lived in Claremont many years ago I used to go there regularly and just lie under a tree with my book.]

City proposes parking tariffs to expand
https://www.capetownetc.com/news/city-proposes-parking-tariffs-to-expand
11 Nov. 2019

"The City of Cape Town has been requested to expand managed parking to areas where there is a high demand for on-street parking. ‘Managed parking’ means the City charges a tariff for the use of an on-street parking bay and that the tariff is determined by the time the bay is being occupied. Time restrictions are also applicable in these areas...

The purpose of managed parking is to ensure a turnover of parking bays so that visitors have the opportunity to access popular destinations and facilities during business hours.

It is proposed that those who park in central business districts are charged per 15 minutes, and that visitors to recreational areas be charged per three hours. The management times are from 8am to 5pm on weekdays, and from 8am to 1pm on Saturdays.

The City proposes to expand managed parking to the following areas:

– Camps Bay (Subcouncil 16)
– Durbanville CBD (Subcouncil 7)
– Muizenberg (Subcouncil 19)
– De Waterkant (Subcouncil 16)
– Kenilworth (Subcouncil 20)
– Newlands and Rondebosch (Subcouncil 20)
– Gardens, Kloof, more streets in the Cape Town CBD (Subcouncil 16)
– Gallows Hill (Subcouncil 16)

Residents will have the opportunity to comment on this proposal from 13 November to 13 December 2019.

"The Odd Socks Project kicked off in June of this year. They rally up donated single socks from all around the country, then pair them up according to size and fabric to make awesome new pairs and distribute them to people in need.

Of course, mismatched socks have even become a fashion statement recently, so the recipients will look super trendy. Supporting multiple charity schemes, they put socks on the feet of school kids, homeless persons or any other feet in need.

Thus far, they have collected over 8 000 single socks. With drop-off points around the country, you can easily get involved. You can even be a drop-off point yourself, or volunteer to sort or distribute. They welcome any and all help, so you don’t have to tiptoe around them.

Here are the drop-off points: [They don't list them. Just a map is supplied and I can't copy it]

15 Nov. 2019

"Cape Town-born famous cartoonist, Johnathan “Zapiro” Shapiro, has been awarded top honours alongside fellow outstanding creatives Johnny Clegg and Steven Spielberg.

Zapiro was awarded the highest honour for Arts in France, called the Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres meaning, “Knight in the Order of Arts and Letters”. French Ambassador, Aurélien Lechevallier handed the award to Zapiro on behalf of the President Emmanuel Macron.

This amazing cartoonist is well-known by many in the Mother City and beyond for his quirky, politically charged illustrations and one-of-a-kind stylistic works featured in a number of newspapers and established publications.

A past student of the University of Cape Town, Zapiro surprisingly studied architecture before realising his passion and moving over the department of art. It was during his time spent in the army that he developed his political viewpoints that can reflect in his wildly popular cartoon drawing today ... "

What makes Fjällräven different to other brands is their commitment to sustainability. All of their products are created using sustainable materials and designed to last.

The Dairy Den comes to the Southern Suburbs
https://www.capetownetc.com/cape-town/the-dairy-den-comes-to-the-southern-suburbs
12 Nov. 2019

"... The Dairy Den has officially opened their second store in the Mother City, this time in Kenilworth Centre ...

The new store is small and convenient but offers the same selection of delightful gourmet doughnuts and a rainbow variety of soft-serve ice-cream served with their signature black cones or hot pink Flamingo cones.

This exciting ice cream store is the result of a fantastic Capetonian sister duo of Tasia and Lexi Van Kets, built on a long family history of quality ice cream production that dates back to 1948.

“It’s quite incredible to think that there have been three generations of ice cream makers in our family. I think there may be ice cream running through our veins!” says Lexi.

Locals in the Southern Suburbs now have a new escape from the heat and the opportunity to try fan favourites such as the authentic Belgian Chocolate Dip, The Mint Dragon, The Belter – for that extra bit of double trouble – as well as the pretty in pink Flamingo Cone selection.

Along with the new store, a few new offerings [my highlights] have made it onto the menu including a decadent White Belgian Chocolate, Belgian Chocolate Top Deck and Vanilla Nut Crunch soft serve flavours. If you’re not in the mood to go get ice cream yourself, you can now also have it delivered to your door via UberEats in the form of a soft serve tub on wheels. [my highlights]

[My comment: A soft serve tub on wheels? This I would like to see, but I'm not in the Southern Suburb - fortunately, because otherwise I'd be tempted to order every day!! Give me an ice-cream and I just melt (pun intended)]
