The FIFA 2010 World Cup™ kicks off this week and it is clear that soccer fever has hit Cape Town. With the sound of vuvuzela’s throughout the city and every second car dressed with flags and mirror socks, it’s easy to see that Cape Town is ready to welcome the world. Cape Town Tourism has […]
Well done to all of you for sending in such fabulous entries (like these and these) to the NoMU 2oceansvibe “Touch Me On My Poster” competition. Although we were completely blown away by the calibre of the entries, we could only pick 10 winners. [sad face] This was one of them: “A” for effort.. So […]
We don’t use the word “magic” enough. Our folks do – but we’ve kind of dropped it. Let’s make a pact to bring it back. “Hey chom, how was the fishing trip?” “Bloody magic, man!” Ok, so, another week has gone by, which means tomorrow morning (Friday) brings us another 2oceansvibe Radio show! Things are […]
First it was Green Market Square, and now it’s the V&A Waterfront. Yes, ladies and gents, we’re talking about free Wi-Fi. We recently ran a story on Skyrove’s offering of free Wi-Fi in Green Market Square, Cape Town. Things have developed ever so slightly.
While we wait for our winning lottery numbers to come in, it’s nice to know that you can still live the holiday on your own terms. Choose the place, choose the time, and live the holiday whenever it suits you! I received an update of the new 2oceansvibe Villas properties and I must say, they […]
As the eyes of the world turn to Africa, 2oceansvibe Radio and The Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village have combined to bring a world first to Cape Town. 2oceansvibe Radio will be broadcasting purely internet radio, live and around-the-clock, from retail space within the Cape Quarter – allowing the general public to watch and interact with […]

With each hamper including prizes from Sunglass Hut, Puma, vida e, Jack Black beer, Butlers Pizza and Osumo, you can understand […]
Marriott Machinery has it core business in buying, restoring and reselling used machines. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be sexy! Derek Marriott and a few of his *cough* staff took us on a guided tour of their plant. Oh, it’s in Epping, Cape Town (no spice). I tell you what, if I was ever […]
I noticed a few of them driving around Cape town – you know, cars with the SA flag wrapped around their wing-mirrors. Every time I saw one, I wondered where I could get them from. Which was a little bit dof of me. I should have known that 2oceansvibe’s preferred promo company, Kika Promotions, would […]
Yesterday was exactly one year since we published the now famous Cape Town Waterfront iStore article. To celebrate this milestone, we checked our Google stats and noted that that particular post is in the Top 20 most read articles on 2oceansvibe (ever!), with close on 8,000 views in the last 12 months (currently 7,675 visits)! […]
What an incredible response we’ve had so far to the NoMU Touch Me On My Poster competition. A number of the 2oceansvibers out there managed to decipher the various clues we gave you and got themselves photographed with the poster in question! Well done, gang! Here are a few examples of what we have received […]
One good thing I can say about the SA iTunes shop, is that our favourite mobile payment application, AMMO, is finally available for everyone with an iPhone to download and dominate! Lose the wallet, buddy.. If you don’t know what I’m talking, then I strongly suggest you read the original AMMO article we posted. […]
True 2oceansvibers who are also following 2oceansvibe on Twitter, will know that we indulged in some pigeon for lunch the other day in Menerbes – South of France. It was my first time eating such a small bird (insert supermodel joke here) and I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Here we have our neighbours, […]
Ok, welcome to a brand new competition, courtesy of everyone’s favourite foods and spice merchants, NoMU! It’s called “Touch Me On My Poster” and gives you the opportunity to indulge in some general tomfoolery, in exchange for a selection of absolutely radically radical prizes! Check it out – do you know where this is? I […]
I’ve just received word from the team at 2oceansvibe Villas, who have agreed to extend a confidential 35% off advertised rates for the dates 30 April to 6 May or 20% discount on advertised rates from 11 to 14 May! It’s basically the ultimate Camps Bay one-bedroom suite! The Cams Bay Terrace Suite Check it […]
See, we told you it was the era of the instanet. Mweb offers cheap uncapped ADSL, and all of a sudden businesses everywhere are freaking out, losing their heads in acts of reckless generosity as they bring South Africa up to speed with the global village. Like Skyrove, who’ve gone and hooked Capetonians up with […]
Last week we gifted you an article about those beer-can stickers that allow you to have a sundowner on the beach without getting arrested. Very cool. But not cool enough, for the serious beer-drinkers out there, it seems.. The more laddish lads out there will be enthused at the suggestion of this new beer aquapack […]
PopYaCollar Captures Another Snappy Dresser On The Streets of Cape Town Police Search Home Of Gizmodo Editor Over Lost iPhone 4G – Those of you who think this whole thing was a publicity stunt may want to revise that stance. It’s unlikely the police would play along with a intentional leaking of an iPhone and […]
I don’t know what’s inside them, and I don’t care to be quite honest. But I can tell you right now that these little cookies are the hottest little things on the street at the moment. Apparently they’re available at the Woodstock market. All I know is The Muse got a whole bunch of them […]
I’ve been struggling to keep quiet about this for quite some time now, as the excitement has been too much. After months of travel around Africa, resulting in an archive of thousands of never-seen-before photographs, one of South Africa’s top photographers and my friend, Andrew Verster-Cohen (VC), has finally released his African football book, entitled […]
I was really stoked when I found this pack of magic in the Big Blue shop in Kalk Bay this weekend. As some of you will be aware, drinking alcohol on Camps Bay beach and all other public beaches in Cape Town is prohibited. And whilst some of you have taken to making pre-mixed drinks […]
As the regulars would have noticed, 2oceansvibe has been plastered with ads for MWEB’s new uncapped broadband service – the first uncapped service in South Africa. They have a number of packages and there is one to suit every pocket and speed. I would like to tell you about my package. Sis, don’t be rude […]
In the space of one week, not one but two 2oceansvibers out there noticed that Pick n Pay Express stores are the latest outlets to offer Ass Flavoured foods. This, just a month after Fruit & Veg City jumped on the Ass Flavour bandwagon, with their ass flavoured subs and wraps. With ass cupcakes going […]
Maybe not quite what you had in mind? But don’t fright – this is about a kind of teabagging that doesn’t see you on your back, with your head over the side of the sofa. It’s a novel new vibe, featuring celebrities images attached to teabags, making it look like they’re chilling out in your […]
You may have heard about The Castle in Clifton, but only a handful of you will know exactly what it looks like on the outside, let alone the inside. But now, through 2oceansvibe Villas, and for the most discerning individuals, The Castle is available alongside other quality properties for exclusive short term Cape Town holiday […]
A week or so ago I told you about the return of the much desired (and missed) Levi’s 507 Jeans. You remember, they’re the ones that don’t taper, they aren’t skinny and they don’t flare as much as a bootleg – they are as straight as they come! Just the way I like it! As […]
So I was leaving Cavendish Square on Friday after a thoroughly enjoyable Chunky Chicken Wrap at Sumo, which was preceeded by an awesome session Guest Speaking to the UCT Business Science Honours students. A good day, all in all.. That was until I drove out of the Cavendish Square car park. I joined the spiral […]
It’s a massive week for 2oceansvibe and Butlers this week. Not only has the much anticipated “Rotherham” pizza been launched on the menu, but fellow 2oceansvibe sponsor, NoMU spices, is also featuring on the menu. That’s right, for the first time ever, peri-peri will be available as a topping on your pizza – and it’s […]
“Living the holiday” is more than just chilling out at the beach, it’s about engaging with pre-approved people and companies who don’t add stress to your life. … So back to the story, I was approached by a company called Ammo a few weeks ago with a mobile payment solution they have developed, allowing you to pay for goods and services with your PHONE.
I’ve only really been compelled to break out into song in the Sea Point Spar, home to thousands upon thousands of overseas models living in the area. Not to mention Luba Shumeyko‘s twin (damnit!) sister, who often shops in the very same store. They practice their ramp walks down the isles, as we, mere mortals, […]
