Monday in Cape Town. Winter's doing its thing, and the Junior Boks just made rugby history in Tbilisi, back-to-back World titles, unbeaten in 18.
Here's what's worth knowing today.
1000s Of People Are Building Their Own App With Ai. Are You?
Every tool you're paying for right now was built by someone who's never done your job. They guessed at what you needed, wrapped it in a subscription, and now you're locked in - paying monthly for software that's 80% of what you actually want.
That other 20%? It's costing you time, workarounds, and money every single week.
Justin Burns figured out how to close that gap. He builds the exact tool he needs using AI - no code, no developers, no waiting. And this July 22-24, he's showing you how to do the same thing, live, in three days.
The event is free. The app you walk away with is yours.
Grab your seat for the Apps Built With AI Summit and stop paying for software that almost works.

A Cape Town school choir just brought home international bragging rights. St Cyprian's Girls in Blue swept categories at a Barcelona choir contest, clinched the Grand Prix title, and were rewarded with a performance inside Gaudi's Sagrada Familia crypt. A school hall in the southern suburbs is feeling rather smug.
South Africa's national flower still doesn't have an emoji, and a Southern Cape reserve wants that fixed. Wild Rescue has filed what's believed to be the first pitch to the Unicode Consortium for a protea symbol, arguing the Cape Floral Kingdom deserves its own keyboard real estate. Call it fynbos's cutest lobbying effort yet.
South Africa's Junior Boks just made rugby history twice in one year. Kevin Foote's under-20 side beat France 16-5 in Tbilisi to become the first South African team to win back-to-back Junior World titles, stretching an 18-match unbeaten run along the way. The kids are alright, apparently.

Cape Town Opera reimagines Janacek's The Cunning Little Vixen as a family-friendly, English-language production about a wild-hearted fox cub who refuses to be tamed. Bring the kids, bring tissues. |

Karamonk turns the Baxter's Masambe Theatre into a cabaret built from Japanese paper theatre and sharp local wit. A slightly strange night out, entirely on purpose. |

Parel Vallei's drama department stages Victor at the Playhouse Theatre in Somerset West. Cheap seats, home grown talent, proper stage lighting. |

Book SAAO's night tour and stargazing session in Observatory, tour one of Cape Town's oldest buildings, then point a telescope at the actual sky. Weather permitting. |

Karbros Takeaways has opened a sit-in spot on the corner of Dorp and Long, serving the same menu regulars already love, just with actual chairs this time. Early word says the quality made the jump from box to plate untouched.
Beneath Table Mountain in Camps Bay, Omri mixes Mediterranean and Lebanese cooking with mezze, sharing plates and a sea view. Not a budget spot, but the kind of splurge that earns its keep.
Out in Durbanville, Punjab is quietly building a reputation for some of the richest curries and freshest naan in the city, opposite the police station on Church Street. Worth the drive out of the bowl.
