Gerda Steyn crossed the finish line in Pietermaritzburg on Sunday with her iconic smile and a new Up Run course record of 5:44:53, completely decimating the field to claim a fifth Comrades title and cement her status as Queen of Comrades, in a performance the organisers called a display of endurance, heart and pure determination under this year's campaign motto, Ska Fela Moya: never give up.

The A4 Arts Foundation on Buitenkant Street is free to enter and open until 5:30pm, the kind of gallery space that makes you walk slower than usual on a Monday.
The Book Lounge on Roeland Street is one of the city's better excuses to disappear for an hour, independent and well-stocked, open until 6pm.
Pauline's on Main Road in Sea Point is a neighbourhood coffee shop focused on connecting growers and roasters with the local community, and the kind of place that hands you a complimentary drink without being asked when they've run out of what you ordered.
