Coming to South Africa to perform in Ballito and Cape Town, British DJ Pete Tong took the time to visit Inverdoorn Game Reserve and Iziba Safari Lodge. Personal encounters with a tame cheetah and new baby rhinos, Bundu and Livinia, familiarised him with the reserve’s conservation efforts RhinoProtect and Western Cape Cheetah Conservation and Tong is eager to join the fight to save endangered wildlife. CelebritiesCelebrities are often glimpsed, as they get in touch with nature at Inverdoorn. Coldplay shot part of their music video for the song Paradise at the reserve. Tokio Hotel and Sean Kingston also visited and The Wailers performed in Cape Town in support of RhinoProtect. Esteemed actors Rutger Hauer and Ingrid Chauvin are amongst other celebrated guests who were touched by the animal interactions and the initiatives that propel the reserve.
InverdoornInverdoorn has become a conservation stronghold – this past year saw them provide a home to the baby rhinos who were orphaned after their mothers fell victim to poachers. Elephants were re-introduced to the Karoo after being relocated to Inverdoorn. Raised in captivity they are now free-roaming and complete the reserve as a big five safari destination. The involvement of key figures such as Pete Tong could do much to help Inverdoorn elevate awareness about South Africa’s natural heritage and the dangers it must combat.

MADAMA BUTTERFLY
Date: September 19, 25, 27 @ 19h30 & 21 September @ 18h00Venue: Artscape
Christine Crouse and Michael Mitchell’s visually stunning staging of Puccini’s most heart-rending opera returns to the Opera House at Artscape
“And the geisha will sing, as she used to do. And the happy song will end in a sob”East and West collide with tragic results in Puccini’s devastating opera about a trusting young Japanese bride and the callous American naval offi cer who weds and abandons her. Famous highlights including Butterfl y’s aria ‘Un bel dì’, the joyous Flower Duet and the haunting Humming Chorus emerge from a score of consistent beauty and power, which goes straight for the emotional jugular and seldom fails to reduce even the hardest hearts to tears.Christine Crouse’s “visually arresting” production, with Kabuki-inspired designs by Michael Mitchell, was a sell-out sensation at its fi rst run in 2009.

NELSON MANDELA LEGACY EXHIBITION
Hello Cape Town 6
The Nelson Mandela Legacy Exhibition in the Cape Town Civic Centre is now open to the public. The exhibition, on the concourse level of the building, is a multimedia display tracing Mandela’s relationship with Cape Town. The Cape Town Honours Nelson Mandela programme is a special Mayoral project formed to pay tribute to the country's fi rst democratically-elected president; to expose a new generation to his legacy; and to engage Cape Town residents in developing a new moral code for governance in the city. It has the blessing of the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory.
The Mayor of Cape Town, Alderman Patricia de Lille, encouraged Capetonians to apply Mandela’s values in everything they do: strength, resilience, justice, dignity and respect. “I want Capetonians to engage on how we reinforce his values in the pillars upon which this city is governed: the Opportunity City; the Safe City; the Caring City; the Inclusive City; and the Well-Run City.”
She said her idea to celebrate Mandela’s legacy and his relationship with Cape Town came about last year when the former President was hospitalised. “I wanted to celebrate Madiba during his lifetime. I wanted to let the people come together to celebrate him while he is still with us and draw on his example of leadership to chart our way into the future,” she said.
She declared 2013 as the year in which the mother city would celebrate Nelson Mandela and reiterated the necessity of passing his story about the sacrifi ces he made for South Africa to be a democracy on to the younger generation.“We know
his history with our great city,” she said. “It was here that he was imprisoned for so many years by the Apartheid regime. It was here that he ushered in a new legal framework of human rights and dignity from the fi rst democratic parliament.
“When Mandela was awarded the Freedom of the City in 1997, he said: “It was the people of Cape Town who welcomed me on my fi rst day of freedom….I am proud to be associated with citizens who are uniting at last to build a better life for all who live in Cape Town.”
“With these images and multimedia displays, we want our residents to come together and absorb Madiba’s legacy and so create the framework for engagement.”
The multimedia exhibition showcases Mandela's relationship with Cape Town, and contains photographs by Benny Gool and AdilBradlow. The exhibition is a multimedia one, comprising video segments of key events in Mandela's life and more than 200 photographs.
The giant artwork on the Civic Centre was conceived by Abie Collins and Alberic Vollmer of Dreamfuel Media, and drawn by LinseyLevendall. It was drawn on A3-sized paper before a high-defi nition scan was produced to upscale it and cut it into 660 separate pieces for separate windows. A team of abseilers took four days to complete the task of putting it into place.
The nelson Mandela Legacy Exhibition is located at the Concourse Level of the Civic Centre and is open daily 10:00- 18:00. The Cape Town Civic Centre is located in Hertzog Boulevard in central Cape Town, and residents and visitors are encouraged to use MyCiTi to get there.
“Never, never and never again
shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another.”Nelson Mandela

C elebrating their Centenary, Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden and the Botanical Society of South Africa are enjoying a momentous landmark year. The prestigious
Botanical Art Biennale from August 30 to September 15 will be one of the high points of this year. Sponsored by Old Mutual and taking place in the Conference Centre of the same name at Kirstenbosch, this Centenary event showcases top South African botanical artists as well as artists from different parts of the globe.
This year’s Biennale focuses on medicinal and traditional use plants of southern Africa. The symbiotic relationship between the plant and animal kingdoms and the plethora of uses of plants, highlight the vigilance required if the sustainability and long-term harvesting potential of these limited resources is to be ensured.
From fine monochrome pencil drawings to delicate watercolour, the media used by the artists range from copper etchings and
scraperboard through to pastel, pen and ink. Whatever the medium used, the ability of the artist to bring these plants to life in their truest form is remarkable. Whilst the paintings are complex the viewer is drawn to the simple beauty of the plants and to the fact that these same plants have inspired many generations of botanical artists to record with extraordinary accuracy the wealth of the southern African flora.
International artists Kath Baker and Leigh-Ann Gale (UK), Suzana Souza (Brazil) and Suellen Perold (USA) add interest to the line up of exhibitors. Well known South African artists such as Eric Judd, Solly Gutman, Carol Reddick and Gillian Condy are joined by first time exhibitor Ann Kerr, while visitors will delight in the fine renditions from Jenny Hyde- Johnson, Jeanette Loedolff, Wilna Eloff and Lisa Strachen.
An additional highlight is the work of Cape based Margaret de Villiers, who recently won a gold medal and best on show at the annual Royal Horticultural Society’s Botanical Art show in London.
This year’s focus on medicinal plants should attract the public to view the exhibition and to learn from the displays, walkabouts, lectures and audio visual presentations. The Keiskamma Art Project will be featuring an original work done in conjunction with a group of San artists based in Botswana.
Since Kirstenbosch has been a centre for the study and appreciation of plants since its inception, this international exhibition of botanical fine art is a fitting tribute during this Centenary year.

Hello Cape Town 22
WILDLIFE ALL YEAR ROUNDwhales. From July to November the Southern Right whales are plentiful in the bay and you can be assured of a sighting.
During the winter months the Great White Sharks are extremely active around the island and we enjoy many sightings and often witness natural predations. The main breeding season for the Cape Fur Seal is November and December when almost 20 000 pups are born.
The majority of the seals on Duiker Island, out of Hout Bay Harbour, are males waiting out their time until they reach the right breeding age, which is between the ages of 8 to 12 years depending on their size. Duiker Island is not a breeding colony as the sea can get very rough and the pups get swept off. The island is most densely populated from January through March due to the seals moulting. During this period they do not go off in search of food but rely on fats they have stored in their blubber.
BIG 5 SAFARIThe phrase Big Five game was coined by white hunters and refers to the fi ve most diffi cult animals in Africa to hunt on foot. The collection consists of the lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros.
African Big Five Game Species:African bush elephant (Loxodontaafricana): The African elephant is a very large herbivore having thick, almost hairless skin, a long, fl exible, prehensile trunk, upper incisors forming long curved tusks of ivory, and large, fan-shaped ears.
OSTRICH FARMINGHistory reveals that ostrich chicks were traded by the original Khoi inhabitants with the Dutch Settlers in 1652 and exported from Cape Town to Batavia (now Indonesia) in 1656. There were also exports to India and the Emperor of Japan in 1658. The fi rst documented ostrich farm was established in the centre of Cape Town in 1679.
The ostrich is the world’s largest living bird, averaging 2m (6.5ft) in height and weighing up to 156kg (344lb).
SHARK CAGE DIVING Great white sharks are the apex predators of our oceans and Cape Town is one of the shark cage diving capitals of the world. Sharks are iconic and magnifi cent creatures. Experience a great white shark up close and personal with a shark diving or shark viewing tour (you don’t have to get in the cage!) and you do not need a scuba diving certifi cate to shark cage dive.
Great White Shark, Cage Diving takes place from April to September in False Bay (departs from Simon’s Town) and all year round from Gansbaai (2 hours from Cape Town).
CAPE FUR SEAL Situated only 8 nautical miles (about 16km) from Simon’s Town, Seal Island is home to 75,000 Cape Fur Seals, 24 different bird species and the hunting ground of the Great White Shark. All year round we often encounter Dolphins, Humpback whales and Brydes
There are two distinct species of African elephant: African forest elephant (Loxodontacyclotis) and the African bush elephant (Loxodontaafricana). Black rhinoceros (Dicerosbicornis):The black rhinoceros is a large, thick-skinned herbivore having one or two upright horns on the nasal bridge. Rhinoceros may refer to either black or white rhinoceros.
African cape buffalo (Synceruscaffer): The African or cape buffalo is a large horned bovid. Buffalo are sometimes reported to kill more people in Africa than any other animal, although the same claim is also made of hippos and crocodiles. It is considered the most dangerous of the Big Five, reportedly causing the most hunter deaths, with wounded animals reported to ambush and attack pursuers.
Lion (Pantheraleo): The lion is a large carnivorous feline of Africa and northwest India, having a short, tawny coat, a tufted tail, and, in the male, a heavy mane around the neck and shoulders. A lion may attack without provocation, and is considered by many to be the best of the Big Five.
Lions habituate the savanna where tall grasses, shrubs and bushes obscure and provide them cover and camoufl age. This thick undergrowth is commonly referred to as jess. As lions are ambush hunters, they use this natural cover to stalk close as possible before making a fi nal charge to catch their prey. Lions do not generally avoid confrontation, but will usually face the challenger. Lions are unpredictable and may charge
Hello Cape Town23
WILDLIFE ALL YEAR ROUNDwhen suffi ciently annoyed or confronted by danger.
Leopard (Pantherapardus): The leopard is a large, carnivorous feline having either tawny fur with dark rosette-like markings or black fur. They are wary of humans and will take fl ight in the face of danger. The leopard is solitary by nature, and is most active between sunset and sunrise, although it may hunt during the day in some areas. Leopards can be found in the savanna grasslands, brush land and forested areas in Africa.The male leopard is less than half the size of a male lion. The leopard is the smallest of the big cats, and rarely exceeds 200 lb (91 kg).
A visit to a South African reserve will, most likely, allow seeing not only the big 5 but other habitants of the African bush. Although the stock will be different between various reserves you’ll be able to watch: Giraffes, Elands, Springbok, Hippopotamus and Zebras.
CAPE PENINSULA BABOONSThe Baboon Matters Trust comprises a handful of dedicated volunteers who are at the forefront of baboon conservation in South Africa. The goals of the trust include raising awareness for the plight of baboons as well as education and training so that sustainable solutions can be found for areas of confl ict between man and baboon. On a practical level the trust makes provision for the rescue and care of injured or sick baboons, and aims to support rehabilitation centres that focus their attention on baboons.
Cape Species: The Chacma Baboon (Papioursinus), also known as the Cape Baboon, is, like all other baboons, from the Old World monkey family. With a body length of up to 115 cm and a weight from 15 to 31 kg, it is among the largest and heaviest baboon species. The Chacma is generally dark brown to gray in color, with a patch of rough hair on the nape of its neck.
Unlike the northern baboon species (the Guinea, Hamadryas, and Olive Baboons), Chacma males do not have a mane. Perhaps the most distinctive feature of this baboon is its long, downward sloping face. Males can have canine teeth as long as 2 inches (longer than a lion’s canine teeth). Baboons are sexually dimorphic, males being considerably larger than females.
The Chacma Baboon is found in southern Africa, ranging from South Africa north to Angola, Zambia, and Mozambique. Size and color vary within that range.
Chacmas usually live in social groups composed of multiple adult males, adult females, and their offspring. Occasionally, however, very small groups form that include only a single adult male and several adult females. Chacma troops are characterized by a dominance hierarchy. Female ranking within the troop is inherited through the mother and remains quite fi xed, while male ranking is tenuous and changes often. Chacmas are unusual among baboons in that neither males nor females form strong relationships with members of the same sex. Instead, the strongest social bonds are often between unrelated adult males and females. (Wikipedia)
BOULDERS BEACH PENGUINSA visit to the famous Boulders Beach penguins should be part of every Cape Town itinerary. The penguins from this growing colony allow for close encounters with these famous sea birds - and most tourists fall helplessly in love with them. The story of the African penguins at Boulders Beach is one of remarkable urban colonization, but the species as a whole faces many threats and these aquatic fl ightless birds are listed as endangered.
The story of the penguin colony in Cape Town started in 1983 when a pair was spotted on Foxy Beach at Boulders. Since then the colony has grown rapidly and now totals about 3 000 Boulders Beach penguins. The birds came to False Bay from Dyer Island after the reduction in commercial pelagic trawling, which has increased the supply of pilchards and anchovy - part of the penguins’ diet. Boulders Beach is located in Simon’s Town, just over the hilly peninsula from Cape Town. It’s easily accessible by bus, car, taxi or train.

The Silver Tree Restoration Project is one of the Centenary legacy projects and lucky garden visitors could receive a Silver Tree of their own, learn more about the construction of the Treetop Canopy Walkway and explore the Arboretum.
From Sunday 1 September to Saturday 6 September the fi rst 100 visitors to the Garden each day will receive a FREE Silver Tree sapling. This underlines the Silver Tree Restoration Project which supports the survival of this indigenous tree that is unique to the slopes of Table Mountain.
A walk along the recently planted Silver Tree avenue will be a must as visitors can enjoy the historical value and the major effort that has gone into ensuring the survival of this elegant member of the Protea family . This trail runs from Rycroft gate (Kirstenbosch Gate 3) to the historic Cork Oak planting where Southern Cross Drive connects to Rhodes Drive.
The project is a collaboration between Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, BotSoc, Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) and the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) with the objective of restoring 8000 Silver Trees to sites where historically they occurred naturally.
A very unusual project that is gaining a lot of interest is the Treetop Canopy Walkway which is currently under construction and is a legacy project of the Centenary celebrations. Affectionately known as the Boomslang walkway because of its shape as it rises over the trees, horticulturist Adam Harrower will be leading a walk daily from Monday 2 September to Friday 5 September from 11am to 12pm.
This will offer visitors a peek behind the scenes of this project, which will show the sights of the Arboretum (or Enchanted Forest), one of the lesser known areas of the garden, housing some 450 indigenous species. The Arboretum forms the backdrop to the sloping lawns of the concert garden and is situated in the Garden’s South Western quadrant. This elevated walkway is due for completion in early summer 2013 and is set to become another major attraction of the Garden.

She loves making beautiful things out of ordinary materials, and uses shells, beads, wood, horn, gemstones and seeds to striking effect. She works with a dedicated team of ladies from the local community and together they create a unique range of jewellery, colourful, original and stylish, highly appreciated by locals and visitors alike since 1998.
Ethno Bongo is the name of the Decor range using local reclaimed wood, oak wine barrels, palm fronds, driftwood, blue gum, and more. And again all items made in our workshop in Hout Bay.
The creativity is endless, funky birds, penquins, ostriches made from Palm leaves, calabashes and feathers. Mirrors, candle holders, frames, wine bottle racks, stools and tables, clocks and ceramic sculptures all inspired by the sea side.
Crafting memories of the Cape
After all the care, attention and welcome of a Cape Town holiday, it’s time to buy some special mementoes of your visit: something beautiful to treasure and remind you of a special time, and thoughtful gifts to pick out for your loved ones at home. Where to start, though, in a city you probably don’t know too well, with limited time,and a busy travel schedule?
Fortunately, Cape Town is packed with delightful shops selling exquisite handmade items. A rich heritage of materials and skills has produced a wide range of exquisite choices, from tiny, light accessories such as a pair of easily packed, delicate ear-rings, or a one-off, colourful ceramic that will bring a ray of fresh African sunshine to your home in winter.
In partnership with the Cape Craft & Design Institute, we suggest some beautiful pieces to inspire your shopping. Keep in mind that all these products are handmade and that the relevant retailers will not always keep stock of these exact items. You may want to contact the shops beforehand just to confi rm that a product is available and ready for viewing. Or just visit these wonderful outlets and you will be sure to enjoy the pick of a wide selection of handmade goods.
A treasure trove full of cooky and unusual decor and gifts, Quirky.Me is a unique shopping destination at The Old Biscuit Mill, in the heart of the creative Woodstock district. Call 082 417 1885 or visit www.quirkyme.com for more info. Open Monday to Friday 9am-4pm and Saturday 9am-2pm.

Hello Cape Town29
CAPE TOWN HANDMADE refl ect a deep, yet emotive fusion of creative design and visual art on clay.
ZIZIPHO POSWA
Born and bred in the Eastern Cape, Zizipho Poswa takes inspiration from the fl ora of her native South Africa. She trained as a Textile designer, and uses the love for fabrics and patterns as a basis for her designs, which she translates on to a vibrant collection of ceramics. She is known in particular for her hand-pinched vessels - every piece is uniquely hand-created and individual in every way. Neutral exteriors are often contrasted with modern bright colours on the interior, and subtle scratching and small marks add to the individuality of each piece, refl ecting the richness of African tradition and culture.
Her pieces have been showcased in boutique stores locally and internationally. She was awarded the Market Development accolade for achievement within the Craft Sector by the Cape Craft Design Institute in 2011 and a fi nalist in the Woman in Tourism Awards 2009 by the City of Cape Town in the Arts and Culture category.Available at: Imiso

SHOPPING
That’s why I love my SPAR!
Always close, Always fresh,
Always convenient.
KRUGERRAND
The Krugerrand is a South African gold coin, fi rst minted in 1967 to help market South African gold. The coin, produced by the South African Mint, proved popular and by 1980 the Krugerrand accounted for 90% of the gold coin market. The name itself is a portmanteau of Kruger (the man depicted on the obverse) and Rand, the South African unit of currency. Krugerrands are a popular way to invest in gold. By 1980 the Krugerrand accounted for 90% of the gold coin market. That year South Africa introduced three smaller coins with a half-ounce, quarter ounce, and tenth ounce of gold.
The success of the Krugerrand led to many other gold-producing nations minting their own bullion coins, such as the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf in 1979, the Australian Nugget in 1981, the American Gold Eagle in 1986 and the British Britannia coin.Private mints have also attempted to capitalize off the popularity of the Krugerrand, minting gold and silver bullion rounds (the term coin denotes legal currency) in the style of the Krugerrand. The rounds often depict Paul Kruger and a springbok antelope, some even blatantly copying the same design as on the Krugerrands themselves, though the inscriptions are altered. These bullion rounds are not offered by the South African Mint or the Government of South Africa, and are therefore not offi cial, have no legal tender value and cannot technically be considered coins.
The Krugerrand is 32.6 mm in diameter and 2.74 mm thick. The Krugerrand’s actual weight is 1.0909 troy ounces (33.93 g). It is minted from gold alloy that is 91.67% pure (22 karats), so the coin contains one troy ounce (31.1035 g) of gold. The remaining 8.33% of the coin’s weight (2.826 g) is copper (an alloy known historically as crown gold which has long been used for English gold sovereigns), which gives the Krugerrand a more orange appearance than silver-alloyed gold coins. Copper alloy coins are harder and more durable, so they can resist scratches and dents.
The South African Mint Company produces limited edition proof Krugerrands intended as collector’s items. These coins are priced above bullion value, although non-proof Krugerrands also have a premium above gold bullion value. They can be distinguished from the bullion Krugerrands by the number of serrations on the edge of the coin. Proof coins have 220 while bullion coins have 160.As the only means to legally possessing gold bullion, the Krugerrand offers a unique way of holding your own gold. Krugerrands carry only a small premium over the value of their gold content.As the gold price is quoted internationally in terms of troy ounces, the value of Krugerrands can easily be determined at any time.
As legal tender gold coins, Krugerrands can be bought from, or sold to thousands of gold dealing companies and their branches worldwide. Krugerrands are hard enough to resist normal scratching and denting - an important, practical feature, as soft 24 carat coins and bars are more easily damaged and generally require protective packaging. Krugerrands are easy to transport and store.

ARTS AND CRAFTS
No doubts about it – South Africans are a crafty bunch. The country’s people produce a remarkable range of arts and crafts, working from the pavements and markets of the big cities to deep rural enclaves, with every possible form of traditional artwork – and then some.In addition to the standard materials such as beads, grass, leather, fabric and clay, pieces are made using telephone wire, plastic bags, petrol cans and bottle tops – even food tin labels are used to create brightly coloured papier mache bowls. On sale on many a South African street corner are objects made of wire, ranging from representations of the globe to cars and motorcycles – which are capable of manipulated movement – to joke cellphones and working radios.
Shops, markets and collectives dealing in African craft are thriving, providing much-needed employment and income in communities such as Fugitive’s Drift in KwaZulu-Natal, which offers a huge variety of basketry, or the Northern Cape Schmidtsdrift community of displaced San people, who produce paintings that constitute an imaginative and highly coloured extension of ancient rock art. A high level of skill is brought to the production of work that has long been a part of African society, and has now found new commercial outlets. South African beadwork, once the insignia of tribal royalty alone, has today found a huge range of applications, from the creation of coverings for everything from bottles to matchboxes – and the reproduction of the red Aids ribbon in the form of small Zulu beadworks known as Zulu love letters.
Basketry and ceramics, of course, were long ago brought to a pitch of perfection in traditional South African society, and the outgrowths of these forms today grace gallery plinths as often as they fi nd a place on suburban shelves.(To read more: http://www.southafrica.info)

OSTRICH LEATHER & MOHAIR
Ostrich leather is the result of tanning skins taken from African ostriches farmed for their feathers, skin and meat. The leather is distinctive for its pattern of bumps or vacant quill follicles, ranged across a smooth fi eld in varying densities. It requires an intricate, specialised and expensive production process making it costly as well as beautiful.
Although the fi rst commercial farming began in South Africa in 1850, the industry collapsed after World War I and the drop in demand for the feathers for fashionable hats and military uniforms. Other products were marketed, with each success battered by world events and droughts until now, when ostrich skin is globally available and seen as a luxury item in high-end demand. Leather came late in the story of ostrich farming but after a tannery was set up onsite, it went on to make an impact in European haute couture and in the U.S. for cowboy boots. Availability was artifi cially limited when ostrich leather was subject to a cartel monopoly through trade sanctions, and single export and distribution channels until the end of apartheid in 1993.
After that and other factors, the South African government began to export stock allowing other countries to have their own ranches. Although wider production resulted in competition and lower prices, Klein Karoo Group remains the leading global producer. Today the industry is driven mostly by the leather and the meat, which is exported to all parts of the world. South Africa produces over 60% of the world’s ostriches and also has a distinct quality edge in the leather tanning process. Eleven years ago, Charles and Melony Biggs were farming ostrich, sheep and goats in the Graaff Reinet area in the Karoo. At fi rst they exported skins to people he had met in the USA, where he had previously farmed ostrich for 4 years. They learned a lot in that time abroad, one thing being what we in South Africa had to offer and show off to the world in terms of leadership in Ostrich and Mohair.
They started to seek for local manufacturers and work together with designers to present a classic collection that also presents a freshness and elegancy. In 2000, Karoo Classics opened its doors in Stellenbosch: “We had 30 handbags and six belts in stock, but 100% faith in the fantastic natural products made from ostrich leather and mohair”, says Charles. From the very beginning a policy of Proudly South Africa was adopted.
They spent months looking for and visiting factories all over South Africa. The criteria were: simply, high quality at a reasonable price. Today they have a wonderful group of suppliers, from big factories to family businesses and individuals.In 2003, Karoo Classics opened in Cape Town and fi ve years later in Franschhoek. Today they have the world’s largest selection of ostrich leather goods, carrying over 1000 handbags alone.

TOURISM NEWSSEA POINT SWIMMING POOL NAMED AMONG TOP 10 IN THE WORLD
The Sea Point swimming pool has been praised as one of the world’s top 10 swimming pools by Britain’s newspaper ‘The Guardian’.
The publication’s website states: ‘This is a local institution. You swim your lengths while watching super tankers moored alongside twirl on their anchors. Sometimes surf from the Atlantic’s Benguela current washes over the deck.’
“This is a great accolade for Cape Town and reaffi rms our commitment to providing top quality public facilities where people can enjoy time with friends and family outdoors.
The Sea Point swimming pool is one of our prize facilities and is an extremely popular destination for tourists and locals,” says the City of Cape Town’s Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Special Projects, Alderman Belinda Walker.
During the peak summer season (October to February) the swimming pool attracts up to 60 000 visitors and more than 20 000 visitors per month in December and January. The swimming pool can accommodate up to 1 300 people at a time.
On any day in summer you’ll fi nd a mix of locals and tourists soaking up the sun, professional and recreational swimmers ploughing up and down the pool, and people of all ages frolicking in the water.
The facility is open throughout the year, and a handful of Capetonians persevere with their training throughout winter, even when water temperatures drop to about 12 degrees Celsius.
Over the coming months the City will spend R3 million on upgrading the pool. Work will include essential maintenance to ensure that it remains a world-class facility: repairing the existing rim fl ows, reinforcing expansion joints, fi bre-lining the pool and tiling the steps.

ALL SYSTEMS GO FOR CAPE TOWN WORLD DESIGN CAPITAL 2014
With just over four months to go until Cape Town assumes the coveted title of World Design Capital 2014, the City is fi nalising its offi cial programme of events.
The opportunity to be the World Design Capital for 2014 brings with it the responsibility of applying innovative design solutions to our challenges.“Design is not just about pretty things. Rather, it can fundamentally change the way people live in this city and address the challenges we have in a sustainable and innovative way,” says the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Tourism, Events and Marketing, Councillor Grant Pascoe.The City has launched a series of community codesign workshops (video) to get locals involved in re-imagining their communities through innovative design methods.
Successful pilot codesign workshops have already been held in Mitchells Plain, Hanover Park, Durbanville and the Bo-Kaap, and 34 more workshops (10 between September and November and 24 next year) are scheduled to be held in wards across the city over the next 18 months. There are also six signature events that have already been confi rmed.
First up is the Design Week Forum, set to take place in London on Wednesday, 18 September 2013 during the annual London Design Festival. There, the City will promote Cape Town as the World Design Capital 2014 to the global design audience. The festival is the “go-to” event for top international Design Week organisers from around the globe.
The second big event is the New Year’s Eve of Design, planned for the Grand Parade on Tuesday, 31 December 2013. Billed as the biggest New Year’s party yet, the event will mark the offi cial launch of Cape Town’s World Design Capital programme.
This event will be followed by a Design Gala in Cape Town on Wednesday, 26 February 2014 to recognise the contributions made by local design industries and design professionals that are testament to the City’s World Design Capital designation.
The highlight of the gala is the awarding of the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (Icsid) World Design Impact Prize. The objective of the prize is to elevate industrial design-driven projects that are producing examples of best practices that are socially responsible and yield a positive impact on the quality of life.
The fi rst ever Design Policy Conference focusing on Africa will be held in November 2014. The conference will be a global platform for the high-level exchange of ideas, insights and the best practices from other countries, regions and cities focusing on developing, launching and maintaining effective design policy.
The fi fth signature event is a Design House Exhibition, also in November. The seven-day event will see international exhibitors showcase the best designs from their cities, creating an opportunity for designers to share ideas, innovation and expertise.
To round off the year’s events, a Convocation Ceremony will be held towards the end of 2014. The ceremony is a symbolic event highlighting the offi cial “hand-over” of the World Design Capital title from Cape Town to the next host city in 2016.
“The City is determined to make a huge success of the World Design Capital designation, not only by showcasing our unique designs globally, but also to use design to improve the lives of all Capetonians,” says Councillor Pascoe.

SHARKS BOARDKwaZulu-Natal has the only coastline in South Africa that is protected by shark safety gear. The KZN Sharks Board maintains shark safety gear at 38 localities and is the only institute of its kind in the world, offering safe bathing to tourists while also conducting research into shark life history and offering a public education programme.Boat Trips:The Sharks Board gives members of the public an opportunity to go out to sea and watch the shark safety gear being checked in the early morning. The Tour Boat leaves Wilson’s Wharf at 06h30 and proceeds out to sea and joins the working craft to view the shark net experience. The skipper keeps the passengers fully informed as to the activities they are watching, as well as drawing their attention to any opportunistic viewing of other marine life and seabirds. This two hour trip is an extraordinary experience to see Durban’s beachfront in the early morning light with the sun just rising over the ocean. Bookings are essential on 082 403 9206 and trips are subject to sea and weather conditions as well as minimum pax load requirement.Cost is R250pp. payable to the skipper on arrival.www.shark.co.za
