Springbok captain, John Smit, is currently on a whirlwind book signing tour of South Africa. From Margate to Canal Walk, fans are arriving in their droves, just to get a glimpse of the global superhero and, God willing, an autograph. Not that one should expect complete support at these events, as we witness this adorable […]
Tiger van der Westhuizen Spotted in Mabu Vinyl s shop window – Cape Town (a follow up to their hilarious Kevin Pietersen window display) Tiger Woods Named Top Athlete of the Decade – That’s what you get for playing good golf and bonking anything with a heartbeat and a pair of Ray Ban aviators. Who […]
What do The Parlotones, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Johnny Clegg, FreshlyGround, an 18-piece Big Band Jazz Group, Swan Lake Ballet and ABBA have in common? I’ll tell you what they have in common – they’re all a part of the latest, most unique, globally recognised festival Cape Town has ever seen. I give you, AQUA FESTIVAL! […]
Twas a mere month ago that we brought you stunning images of that gentleman who risked his life hanging onto the back of a truck. Sigh.. such is the public transport situation these days. Not to be outdone, this chap took things to the next level and rode on TOP of a vehicle. “Just stay […]
Skattie.com have finally gone and done what everyone was asking for. They’ve put together a comprehensive list of South African personalities with Twitter accounts! South African Celebrities on Twitter – CLICK HERE I shouldn’t use the word “comprehensive” as the guys at Skattie have asked me to tell you to TWEET any additions to @skattielife […]
Apparently you can check some angels tanning topless somewhere in this photo. Honestly – it’s so high res that you can move the pic around and zoom in a long way. It’s virtually crystal clear on full zoom. I couldn’t find them (the topless angels). But I think what we should do is look for […]
I got an email a few months back from a 2oceansviber, telling me about this pair of twin brothers who were making some seriously cool music. “Locnville” was the name. I get a lot of people emailing and telling about their friend’s “awesome” band and sadly now take “heads ups” with a pinch of salt. […]
A buddy of mine, John BG, has embraced tattoos like you’ve never seen. Not scared of taking things to the next level, or giving in to a dare, his antics have become something of folk legend. This weekend I finally got to see the infamous SABS stamp on his behind. It’s true. It exists. For […]
I received a stunning little tipoff from one Justin, giving me the heads up on the Cape Town portion of Google Earth. I hadn’t yet installed Google Earth onto my new MacBook Pro (courtesy of Digicape – the anti-iStore) so I did that in about 1 minute flat (download Google Earth here) and “booted” it […]
They’ve come in from all over and well done to the peeps that took them. Whilst there certainly were many duplicates in my inbox, the following images are made of pics I received sent in from three different sources. Please enjoy these pics (there are more, make sure you see them all by following the […]
If there weren’t enough reasons for you to love Mabu Vinyl (2oceansvibe’s vinyl store of choice), this may well be what you’re looking for. Spotted in their window over the last week: Spotted in Mabu Vinyl’s shop window.. Enjoy the “Dickhead” sign above the book You simply CANNOT put a price on that kind of […]
There was great concern as to the reason behind the Nazi flags flying at the University of Cape Town this weekend. Many speculated that they were hoisted for some movie being shot in and around the Mother City. Not a bad reason – certainly better than the suggestion of there being a Nazi convention being […]
Was it a Nazi Convention? Perhaps some students buggering around? Or maybe someone was shooting a movie? Whatever the reason, there were Nazi flags raised at UCT this weekend and no-one knows why. Nazi flags spotted at U.C.T. Quite a vibe.. This, just a month after the Nazi garden gnomes outcry in Germany – involving […]
Sorry, I beg your pardon, did you say that you’ve “seen it all?” This, sent in by Warren H: NOW you’ve “seen it all” Surely it wouldn’t be great if that thing hit a big bump? More importantly, did he think no-one would see him? Check out these pics and you’ll find that the cops […]
We have only recently been made aware of this con that is going on around town and are not sure how long it has been going on for. It appears that someone is trying to impersonate one of 2oceansvibe’s leading Characters, “G-MAN.” The first incident came in the comments section of the infamous Portofino article. […]
I am overly impressed with the vibe being thrown by the new Cape Quarter, in the de Waterkant neighborhood of Green Point. Do yourself a favour and do a little fly-by along Somerset Road, opposite the BP (who are upgrading their shop to include some new kind of Pick ‘n Pay express vibe – much […]
We’re all used to the crazy prices charged on Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard and, when compared to overseas prices in select premier destinations, they’re pretty reasonable. But now things are moving to the next level. Because right here I have for you a R100 million house. That’s US$14 million. Pretty serious stuff. Check it out […]
This basically “hit the net” today. I’ve received it no less than 30 times. Never before has there been so much fuss over a sausage in South Africa. I thought I would “nip it in the bud” (mine) and give it to you right here, right now; so that I don’t have to endure these […]
It’s that time of the month again. The time I wade through the GARBAGE that you send me and select some true genius pieces of rubbish and publish them here for all to see. Then I can wipe it all off my desktop and start anew. We’ll kick off with this one, which I think […]
People of Walmart dot com is a gift to us all. Those of you who have ever been into a Walmart will know all about the different breeds and types of people and fashion you can get in that place. Let’s run through a few.. Stunning! Note stance, then boots, then bald patchIt’s […]
Dave D sent in these pics having spotted an old-school mini cruising around Cape Town with ACTUAL LIVING PLANTS growing out of it. Your basic seedlings Mr Starke had no Ayres and graces Dave D tells us that he followed the car into an underground [they paved paradise and put up a] […]
UNBELIEVABLE scenes today in Cape Town’s TBK region (memo : we will refer to “Tamboerskloof” as “TBK” from now on) where a near-naked woman locked herself out of her house, after attempting to clean the exterior windows. “Look, something is going on over there at that house” “Oh my GOD!! There is a woman […]
INCREDIBLE scenes over the weekend outside Vida e in Green Point, as we see a “prawn” approaching a car guard. A “prawn” approaches a car guard outside Vida e, Green Point The car guard is not quite sure about that prawn – as we notice continued multi-species integration on the streets of Cape […]
It’s that time of the month again.. as we remove the best of the rubbish you send me which gathers dust on my desktop, and release it onto the United Internet. We’ll kick off with this genius, sent in by Trev: Wrong way, my love. Then this absolute gem, spotted by Phillip, somewhere […]
AWESOME footage was sent to me of The TBG donating the 3,267th pair of jeans to the Levi’s “Get Rid of Your Jeans For Good ” Campaign! The TBG caught dropping off jeans at the Waterfront I think it’s fair to say that if The TBG (who spends most of his time healing […]
Right, ok, did anyone check out the Cape Times front page this morning? If so, there may be more to it than you thought. Standard stuff? Just you wait.. As expected, it featured the ongoing gender-bender saga of South African female athlete, Caster Semenya. Bless her and all that, but did you read […]
I popped into Cafe Roux in Noordhoek the other day. I just love the place (even though they don’t yet stock De Grendel wine) because you never quite know what you’re going to get – be it the patronage and/or the surroundings. Last Sunday, for example, featured what could only be described as “Aladdin’s Grandmother” […]
Got this little pearler last week. I want you to see it. It’s really special. Stunning! Hi Seth, I hope your Hollywood adventures are going swimmingly! The cold, wet weather has returned to Cape Town this week – but I’m counteracting the appalling weather by contributing to the South African red wine sales, […]
I spotted this wonderful guy in a car somewhere in The Valley, Los Angeles. Please enjoy him. Very clean environment What do you think? I hope you like him, because he’ll be looking after your kids this weekend. Oh NOOO, you have NOTHING to worry about – he’s GREAT with kids! You know, kidnapping […]
I get a lot of stuff from the 2oceansvibers out there – stories and pics of things happening around Cape Town and earth in general. Car crashes, fires, funny people, funny things – stuff like that. Some I use, some I bin. You see, I only like the good stuff. An example of the good […]
