The Ndlovu Youth Choir is back with something special. The choir has revived Shibobo, the beloved football anthem, just as Bafana Bafana’s World Cup campaign builds momentum. A big sound from a choir that never misses.
The Silvermine Lookout is back. Destroyed in the winter fires, the beloved viewpoint above the nature reserve has been rebuilt from scratch by a hiking club and a band of volunteers with too much heart and not enough rest days.
A photo went viral this week that looked like a drone shot of a winding rural road. Zoom out and it’s actually the feet of 13-year-old Mpho, who has walked 5km to school barefoot for years. The image is part of a Liberty campaign that has now put school shoes on more than 100,000 children across South Africa.

Butter on Bree Street is a CBD neighbourhood favourite that does brunch all day, which is the only correct way to do brunch. The breakfast burger with beef patty, eggs, provolone and spinach is the kind of thing you think about on the drive home. Small inside, a few tables on an elevated patio out front, and always busy with locals who have figured out a good thing.
Ground Culture in Observatory does the laidback cafe thing properly. Open mics, occasional comedy nights, and a crowd that shows up to actually talk to each other. Good coffee, no fuss, and the kind of neighbourhood energy the rest of Cape Town keeps saying it wants.
The Folk Cafe in Kalk Bay earns its reputation quietly. Live entertainment, honest meals, and good coffee in a room that feels properly lived in. Worth the drive down the peninsula on a grey Saturday afternoon, especially when the mountain is hiding anyway.

Stay warm out there, Brews. The city is still worth exploring, even when it is grey.
