How well do you know your City? As a local, you’ve done the tourist beat so many times, you break out into a leper’s rash whenever you hear that saccharine marimba music or see a happy penguin T-shirt. You’ve seen Table Mountain so many times on your morning commute you’d only notice it properly if it set the scene for a massive, saucerous space invasion of District 9 proportions. It’s a beautiful City we live in, but after a few years, one becomes sadly desensitised to all that.
We’ve lived in Cape Town most of our lives and, like most Capetonians our age, we’re itching to skip the country and explore the world. We want to see what’s out there. But not before we’ve seen what’s right here. We want to rediscover this City in the most surprising way and experience Cape Town all over again.
To set us on the right track, we’ve started a conversation with the Mother City. We want to speak to Capetonians and find out what they do in the City, and what the City does to them. We’re calling on you to join this conversation, and follow us as we rediscover the secret side of Cape Town – the anonymous local spots way off the beaten track, the behind-the-scenes goings-on of anything at all interesting, the best places to eat, the best places to party and, most importantly, the beautiful people who make this a beautiful City in the first place.
