On a bright Wednesday afternoon, the usually tranquil ambiance of Kommetjie, a quaint town near Cape Town, was disrupted by an unexpected and disastrous event that led to the demise of three South African Navy officers. The harrowing episode took place near the Slangkop Lighthouse, as the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) submarine SAS Manthatisi was participating in a vital training exercise.
Cape Town faces significant traffic congestion, which frustrates daily commuters. In response to this challenge, the City’s Urban Mobility Directorate has introduced an innovative solution: the Automatic Congestion Information Display (ACID) sign. This system is designed to provide realtime information to commuters travelling towards the southern suburbs of Kalk Bay, Fish Hoek, St James, Noordhoek, and Kommetjie.
The Two Oceans Marathon is one of the most iconic and highly anticipated annual events in Cape Town. This prestigious marathon has been taking place for over five decades, attracting local and international participants. The race provides a unique opportunity for runners and spectators to experience the beauty of Cape Town’s coastal landscapes while pushing boundaries and exploring personal limits.
