British pop icon, Annie Lennox, was spotted this morning in popular Cape Town artisan coffee shop, Origin. Lennox recently appeared in the South African news cycle after reports emerged that former UCT Medical Director, Dr Mitch Besser (56) had left his wife for Lennox. Click through for a pic of the couple.
Just yesterday a friend of mine who recently quit his job to live the holiday said this to me. “You know, it’s amazing, I actually have time to get things done now. I can actually complete admin tasks.” I knew what he was getting at. The majority of us are roped in to 9-5 jobs. […]
Witnessing U2 in concert was a big deal for a lot of people, but spotting Ryan Reynolds (in town shooting a film with Denzel Washington) at the concert may well have increased the blood pressure of a few young ladies! We managed to get hold of a few pics of Ryan Reynolds at Friday’s concert. […]
Adriaan Bergh has done the unthinkable, the unbelievable, the improbable, even. Adriaan Bergh has been crowned Mr South Africa, 2011. Can. You. Believe. It. Click through for the road to glory.
And that’s because scientists have proven, with a rather deceitful method, that you were merely mistaken all along and that there’s no possible way you could actually have had an out-of-body experience. Why? Because your senses were just confused and they tricked you into believing it happened.
Incredible scenes this Saturday morning on 2oceansvibe Radio, as we witnessed what must be a world first. Our Super Saturday sports presenters, Crispin Inglis and Howie Kahn, were giving away a Stormers rugby jersey. Listeners could win the jersey if they got a famous person to retweet their tweet. Follow link to see the result..
Hear ye! Hear ye! The first three people to send us a photo of themselves doing their best animal impression win: A pair of tickets to PH Fat’s album launch tomorrow night (Saturday) at Assembly PH Fat’s new album, Dinosaur Blood. The Grand Winner (the best out of the three winners) wins (in addition to […]
You’ll recall just last week we chatted about the atrocious conditions our Joburg friends are having to put up with as a result of what can only be described as the complete and utter mismanagement of local jozi municipal services. Well, finally they have heeded their consciences’ advice and done the right thing by charging their rogue sheriff.
Ha. Last night, someone in control of the Red Cross Twitter feed accidentally posted “Ryan found two more 4 bottle packs of Dogfish Head’s Midas Touch beer…when we drink we do it right #gettngslizzerd. ” Then the internet found out & made a meme of it, resulting in a flood of Red Cross blood donations.
Well, well, well, children! With gates opening at 16h30, and the main act kicking off at 21h30, most of you are probably wondering just how the heck you’re going to get to the Cape Town U2 gig this evening. As ever, 2oceansvibe is here to provide a list of road closures and associated logistics as a public service to you, our beloved.
We’ve received overwhelming interest in Russian model Irina Shayk, who is this year’s US Sports Illustrated cover model. Initial reports certainly made for interesting reading, revealing the fact that she is the daughter of a coal miner. But there’s more. Enjoy this – she also happens to be the girlfriend of Cristiano Ronaldo. Skinny wealth. […]
According to our archives, the last TBG sighting was on the 29th of December 2010. That makes THIS the very first TBG sighting of 2011. And how befitting of the year’s first sighting, to be one filled with so much glory and awesomeness. And going to hand over to 2oceansviber Mike S, who will run […]
Now I should clarify here, Norwegian kitesurfers in blouwberg are siesa. And by “siesa” I of course mean “an intoxicating mix of insanity, skill, and bravery”. Yesterday, Nick Jacobsen climbed up a crane on the deck of the now-permanently wrecked Seli I, with his kite and his board, and jumped off. Nuts.
Today is an important day because it’s the day our President gives his state of the nation address. It should be an interesting one and I heard there may even be autographed heaven cards for sale afterwards. It’s therefore important to highlight some issues our Jozi brethren currently face and ask whether they are getting a fair deal.
To say it was an honour to have world-renowned pop artist, Imogen Heap in the studio for an interview on the morning of her first gig in Cape Town, would be an understatement. Imogen was a fantastic guest; intelligent, insightful, and quirky. 2oceansvibe Radio were the official media partners for Imogen’s Cape leg of her […]
If you haven’t heard of the Good Work Gig then you’re in for a treat. The GWG will be hosted by the Grand Cafe on Camps Bay beach, and is in aid of The Good Work Foundation. Keeping in spirit with its name, the Good Work Foundation is a charity dedicated to helping the young […]
It is not known what sparked off this very-public in-store mockery, but Pick n Pay has clearly got something against Tiger Brands and, in particular ‘Enterprise’ – their meat products range. Apparently Pick n Pay reckons that Enterprise Renown “Spreads Ass.” We caught up with Enterprise Foods’ Marketing Executive, Sonja Botha, for comment. Click link […]
Local video producer, Jaco Wolmarans was lucky enough to engage in a spot of aerial photography and videography recently. He was acting, quite literally, as the wing man (keeping an eye on the horizon for oncoming air traffic) for a colleague of his who was shooting the planes. In between playing lookout he shot this clip.
With the Radlantic continuing its game of lake-lake as far as Windguru will forecast (7 days ahead, actually), rumours of your plastic water bottle causing cancer are bound to peak. No doubt reaching for a sun exposed bottle of warm water will be met with upturned noses and precautionary words. So, hit them with the truth.
Regular 2oceansvibers will be aware of the term ‘Lake-Lake,’ which is a game the Radlantic Ocean plays from time to time. What it does is it pretends to be a lake – ie. dead still. The photo above was taken this morning from The Safe House (using our iPhone 4 from Digicape and photos stitched […]
I’ve been storing these images of our very own Victoria’s Secret supermodel, Candice Swanepoel on my desktop, waiting for the right occasion to publish them. Readers keep sending me more, and I keep adding them to my desktop collection, holding back from publication, over and over again. When will I realise that I don’t need […]
Because it’s basically here. I mean come now. The third installment of the hugely popular Castle Cape Town Tens is set to get underway this Friday and Saturday 4 and 5 February 2011. And even better, three of you lucky fishes can win a double ticket each, as well as your first two beers at […]
Well, well, well. Do we have a little surprise to make your lives better, my friends. I’m sure you’ll be aware that the Imogen Heap Gigs at the Paul Cluver Forest Amphitheatre, in association with 2oceansvibe Radio (because we love you) sold out long ago. Sad news for those of you who weren’t able to snap […]
Well, ladies and gentlemen. Here we have demonstrable proof that Google Street View is a technology that a) makes our lives better, and b) provides canny insight into the daily habits of the human being. In this instance, it is one particularly special character from 40 Stella Road (corner of Dick Burton), Plumstead.
Well, ladies and gentlemen. That’s what we call a “success”. Weather-wise, Cape Town served up a typically stunning Friday evening. The sky was azure, the rays were mild, and oh hey, look at that – a rooftop covered in beautiful people, ice cold beverages, and international music superstars. Click through for the pictures.
In it’s 2011 Traveller’s Choice Awards, Lonely Planet has named Cape Town the second best beach city in the world. Who was first? Barcelona. So we don’t feel too bad. We’ll take second, ahead of Rio, Sydney and a whole bunch of US cities.
If you were sitting on the fence with that condo purchase on Greenpoint, now really is the time to put an offer on the table. A number of consortiums, most notably the functionally-named Cape Town Grand Prix Bid Company are making bids to bring the F1 Grand Prix to Cape Town.
If you’re a rugby fan in Cape Town, and you haven’t heard of the Neo Africa Tri-Series, then you’ve been missing a trick. This year’s Tri-Series is the second of the annual event, designed to test the mettle of three local Super Rugby teams prior to the kick off of the Super 15. This year, […]
This short time lapse film of Cape Town was put together by Silver Bullet productions, and it is pretty stunning. Everyone knows that Cape Town is aesthetically beautiful, and when it comes to its treatment on film, this beauty can be to its detriment. This film shows Cape Town through a darker, gorgeous lens.
Cricketing superstar, and ocassionally outspoken bad boy, Herschelle Gibbs, will be gracing the 2oceansvibe Radio studios at the Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village tomorrow morning. What he’ll chat about is anyone’s guess, but there are a few hot topics buzzing around the cricketing community at the moment, and Herschelle has never been one not to speak […]
