This coming Thursday, the V&A Waterfront will be playing host to the inaugural Cape Town Society Charity Dinner. The proceeds of the ticket sales and the auction will be passed to a number of worthy charities. One of the beneficiaries of the auction proceeds is the Bobs For Good Foundation, which is a fantastic initiative […]
If you’ve ever been keen to do the world famous Gumball Rally, or perhaps, like me, you have discussed the need for something similar to be hosted here at home – but with a more African vibe to it – look no further, my boet! The Put Foot Rally 2011 is here and registration is […]
At 12:00PM on Saturday, the 8th of January 2011, three monstrously tough unicyclists and their support car will arrive in at Mouille Point lighthouse after completing a 44-day off-road tour, from Durban to Cape Town, on UNICYCLES.

So it’s fitting that these two ancient disciplines would come together in the Counter Balance ‘Freedom Revolution Tour,’ which is raising funds to provide disadvantaged school kids with shoes.

We even called […]
When the news came through that the Bobs for Good Foundation had delivered 282 pairs of shoes to Makanyu Primary school in the rural village of Hampego in Limpopo, I was sure that the school’s name had come up in the press before. So I did a little research and, sure enough, the school HAD […]
We had an absolute blast yesterday at the Waterfront as the likes of District 9’s Vanessa Haywood, Just Jinjer’s Ard Matthews and scores of fans surrounded Bob’s wooden cage, as Ard serenaded him with their latest single, Milk & Honies. The performance was broadcast live streaming on 2oceansvibe and a big thanks goes out to […]
As the regulars will all know, ex-Springbok captain, Bob Skinstad, is a 2oceansvibe Character who goes by the name of “The Character Formerly Known as The Loose Forward.” That said, we vouch for him and everything he does.
