SA wheelchair tennis star Kgothatso Montjane was at Wimbledon this week, inspiring a nation and building a foundation to bring rackets to township kids. Her story is bigger than the scoreboard.
The St Mary's DSG Choir has been singing Zulu songs in European airports, churches, and street corners. The clips are pure joy. That is South Africa doing what it does.

Le Pickle opened last year and already scooped best burger joint in South Africa, home to the first Lamb Smash burger in the country. The Lamb and the Godfather are the ones to order: juicy, flavourful, and worth it even if you're not that fussed about pickles. Cape Town didn't need another smash burger spot, but this one earns its place. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Stevenson in Woodstock is one of Africa's leading contemporary art galleries, and entry is always free. A new exhibition is currently on, the space is quiet and considered, and the Anderson Street building has the kind of unhurried atmosphere that makes a midweek visit feel genuinely restorative.
Thirteen Ice Cream at 48 Albert Road, Woodstock has been churning small-batch artisan ice cream and sorbet since 2013, same recipes, fresh ingredients, 13+ flavours. The Halva, Mint & Choc Chip, and Lime & Ginger are worth the trip alone. Open Mon–Fri 8am–4pm. One of Cape Town's best-kept frozen secrets.
