20-year-old Nazeem Brenner took his sheep for a stroll on the Sea Point Promenade this past weekend and “was amazed at the response”.

If you’re a buy-to-let landlord, the latest numbers coming out of the Atlantic Seaboard do not make for pretty reading.
Whales really are gentle giants, and most Capetonians will readily admit to having a soft spot for them. This may put a smile on your face then.
Residents in one of Cape Town’s most sought after areas are up in arms about how the City is handling a new development project.

Those of you living on in the real world would have been vaguely aware of a Japanese fishing vessel, the Eihatsu Maru, parked on South Africa’s fair shores in the last two weeks.What you might not have thought about in the ensuing drama was the incredible job that the crew of the SMIT Amandla tug […]
Yesterday bodyboarder David Lilienfeld suffered fatal injuries after being attacked by a shark near Cape Town. On the same day, several international websites also happened to run a feature on Andre Hartman, South Africa’s “Shark Whisperer”. Pictures of Hartman placing his hand on the snout of a great white shark and “putting it in a trance” were the main focus. See them inside.
South Africans have reacted with shock and disbelief over the tragic passing of bodyboarder David Lilienfeld earlier today. He suffered fatal injuries at popular surfing spot, Koeël Bay, near Gordons Bay. A 2oceansViber alerted us to a recent video, featuring David and some of his friends. Watch it inside.
Only a few hours have passed since Camps Bay bodyboarder, David Lilienfeld was fatally attacked by a Great White shark in Koeelbaai, near Cape Town. Less than two days ago, 2oceansvibe Reported the controversy around the awarding of filming permits to documentary film makers, who were chumming the water off the Cape Coast in a bid to attract Great Whites for tagging and filming purposes. At the time, Alan Boyd of the Department of Environmental Affairs defended the permits. Moments ago, in the wake of the tragedy, Boyd cancelled them.

Cape Town vibers, a little blue bird told me that South African muso Farryl Purkiss will be playing an exclusive, intimate gig at a chilled, private venue on the Atlantic Seaboard this evening. The first five vibers to email me (correct email after jump) get their name on the list, as well as the details […]
A new study suggests that people prefer to travel South. Real-world experiences underlie avoidance of northern routes, Brunyé proposes. Young children learn that as objects and locations get higher, they become harder to attain. Examples include reaching for a toy on the counter, climbing the stairs and jumping. An ingrained notion that “up is difficult” […]
Gee whiskers! I don’t know if I should tell everyone that I cracked a mention in this month’s Cosmopolitan Magazine’s Editor’s Letter, or if I should keep it quiet so no one finds out I bought the mag before I heard about it! Not that you can blame me for buying it. Try this cover […]
I went for a little walk along Camps Bay beach last Sunday, when the mist was just beginning to get up to it’s tricks. We took in the reverse view from the rocks at the end. I liked what I saw and noticed that the Atlantic Ocean was playing another classic game of “lake-lake.” I’ve […]

My weekend was pretty basic. Saturday was an absolute pleasure as people thought there was too much mist to go to the beach. Thus leaving the entire beach empty for the more intrepid, like myself. It was actually boiling hot with a very light sexual mist in the air. Like that lighting they use when […]
