Hey {{first_name | Brew}}
A LEAP officer went straight into the swell at Monwabisi Beach for a stranger's kid, while 3,600 litres of rugby-match pee got a second life as fertiliser.
Also causing a stir: a city-wide debate over pyjamas and slippers in public, with opinions flying from the Cape Flats to the Waterfront.
There's unlimited tacos on Mondays, a new smash burger spot giving away free lunch this Saturday, and a Woodstock cafe staffed by people rebuilding their lives after rehab.

A LEAP officer on a routine Monwabisi Beach patrol had no lifeguard and no time to think twice when a boy went under in the current. Brent Williams stripped off his bulletproof vest and swam into swell that kept knocking him down, coming out the other side with the boy safe on the sand.
Every drop collected from the toilets at DHL Stadium during the Boks-All Blacks Test got a second life this month. PeeCycling turned 3,600 litres of matchday urine into liquid fertiliser, a project that just won the City's GreenPitch innovation challenge.
A Cape Town debate has the city divided over pyjamas, slippers and bonnets in public, and it's sparked hundreds of comments from all over. Some say a quick errand doesn't call for a change of clothes, others say slippers outside the house is where the line gets drawn.
