Sunday. Someone got arrested at the airport with 150 live scorpions in their bag, special coins are hitting circulation ahead of Youth Day, and an elephant chased a game vehicle out of the Kruger.
Perfectly normal week in Cape Town. Here's what's brewing.

From 16 June, the Reserve Bank is putting special edition R2 and R5 coins into circulation, timed to Youth Day and marking 50 years since the 1976 Soweto Uprising, Charlotte Maxeke's graduation 125 years ago, and 30 years of the Constitution, so keep an eye on your change from this week.
A viral clip from the Kruger has South Africans watching through their fingers, showing a curious elephant approaching a broken-down game-viewing vehicle until the group had to abandon it altogether, a reminder that the bush is beautiful but never tame.
And in the wait, what file, a man was arrested at Cape Town International Airport with 150 live scorpions packed into his luggage, easily the strangest item on today's list and a reminder that customs has seen it all by now.

Oswalds Bakery sits tucked behind the Checkers Centre on Kloof Street, a small sourdough bakery with a handful of seats, good for picking up a loaf and a quiet pastry on a slow morning.
St James Tidal Pool dates back to 1903 and remains one of the prettiest spots on the False Bay coast, free to use and ideal for a brisk dip or a slow walk along the row of bathing boxes.
Clarke's Bookshop on Long Street has been a home for secondhand and rare South African books since 1956, the kind of place that swallows an hour without anyone noticing, with creaking floorboards and shelves worth working through slowly on a grey Sunday afternoon.

That's the brew for today, Brews. Wind picks up later, so secure loose hats and washing lines, steep slowly and we'll see you tomorrow.
