Somewhere in the Overberg, camera traps set out to track leopards caught a baboon photobombing instead, cheeky wave included. The Cape Leopard Trust's survey team is sifting through tens of thousands of images from their Overberg camera count, and this one stopped them cold.
South Africa held three-time world champions Australia to a 2-2 draw at the FIH Hockey Men's World Cup, Mustapha Cassiem scoring twice from penalty corners for a team where many players hold full-time jobs and self-fund their campaigns just to compete. It closes out their pool stage on a high after losses to Spain and Ireland, heading into the 9th-16th classification phase.
Stellenbosch academic Delecia Davids has become South Africa's first Einstein Fellow, and will spend it living in the garden cottage at Einstein's own former summer home in Germany. Her project traces family memory and identity, sparked by how much she didn't know about her own father's history before he passed in 2023. Ten families, generations of stories, and a rare shot to dig up what usually goes unasked until it's too late.

Otto's Cafe on Kromboom Road, Athlone, is doing a Day Starter breakfast for R49, fresh ingredients, a proper sausage, everything tasting like it was actually made with care. A genuinely hard-to-beat price for a loaded plate.
Col'Cacchio at Canal Walk is running kids-eat-free from 4pm to 7pm, every day, one free kids' meal per main pizza, pasta or salad ordered. Fully halal too, an easy night off cooking if you've got a family to feed.
Mischu has been a Sea Point fixture since 2012, breakfast, lunch and matcha are all fine reasons to go, but the pastry counter is the real danger zone. Go in planning one thing, leave with four.
