A little girl on a balcony, just visible over a high perimeter wall. She put her hands out and a ball appeared between them, thrown by a person below her.

Lesser used paths are often very difficult to follow, and a wrong turn can lead you quickly into difficulties, or even plunge off a 100+ metre drop, especially on Table Mountain. So do some extra research and planning before setting out for the first time on ...continues
The politics of street food: the South African chef championing #Zulu cuisine. For Mmabatho Molefe, whose #CapeTown restaurant reinvents ‘peasant dishes’, cooking is a way to fight prejudice. #sustainability#food#SouthAfrica#Africa
