This is just too beautiful! Radio 702’s DJ Redi Direko tried to find out more from ANC Youth League spokesperson, Floyd Shivambu, as to what they meant by earlier statements regarding Helen Zille “sleeping around.” You might want to read that article (here) before you move on to this stunning bit of radio.

A frothy phenomenon unique to Cape Town’s Sea Point Promenade, are the lager-like foam blowholes; the result of the pressure from the ocean waves blasting through a series of storm water vents positioned on the lawns. A stunning visual treat, slowly becoming more of a drawcard for the tourists flocking to these shores. Photo […]
Whilst it may not contain as much symbolism as, say, the US army pulling down the statue of Saddam Hussein, I think this might be a silent victory for a number of people who work and frequent the area surrounding Long Kloof Studios , Kloof Street, Cape Town. This weekend’s storm was so big and […]
With the comments section of our original Waterfront Apple Mac iStore article closing in on the 100 mark, Core’s non-response seems very much in line with those same comments. And I doubt they aren’t aware of it. When the comments section includes responses from current and ex-employees, as well as the owner of the Claremont […]
There is nothing quite like a sexy mouthful of a car name. Like my personal favourite car and car name, the 1952 Ferrari GT 250 California. Just saying it feels like you might even own the car. Say “GT 250” out loud now. Do it. “GT 250” – feels good, doesn’t it? Now say “1952 […]
I’m a very good judge of character and have been proven right as to my reservations of various people on a multitude of occasions. You know, when someone arrives on the scene out-of-the-blue and, for some reason I just can’t seem to trust them. Everyone else embraces the person and then, a few months later […]
Wow, very spicy vibe we have here. Whilst bizarre happenings and events within the greater Sea Point region are commonplace, this one must come within the top five! Seems like someone had QUITE an evening! Sent in from Talya G: Hey Seth, Seems someone was very very drunk last week, there is now […]
Check out this awesome little piece in the Times last week involving a porn star running for senate, a religious right-wing republican getting bust using hookers after the “madame” of the brothel leaked it to the press. And that same “madame” later found dead having “committed suicide after being convicted of running a prostitution ring. […]
Just when you thought Heidi Klum and Seal couldn’t get any more awesome, they reaffirmed their marriage vows this weekend in Malibu – with a “white trash” party theme. I swear. It’s too awesome! They usually do it at the place they got married at, in Mexico – but swine flu is not really their […]
This happened quite some time ago, but recent conversations have led me to believe that you might have missed it. It’s truly awesome and I assure you it will be very much enjoyed. It’s a video of the first winner of the US version of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire. The winner’s name is […]

It’s the Lizzard Nando’s Surf Pro held at Durban’s North Beach 15-17 May, and I’m not able to go. That means that YOU might be able to get your hands on my two VIP tickets. We cannot confirm if Julius Malema will be competing or attending the event, but Nando’s will definitely be there. […]
I spotted a pretty cool competition going on at Foozi.co.za (local foosball manufaturing company) targeted at local ad agencies and designers. It’s a pretty rad idea, with the best foosball table design winning their very own branded foosball table! Quite nice. I had a little poke around and there are some pretty sick designs. […]
Last night brought along a killer sunset which rounded up the weekend weather quite nicely. Those of you who caught last week’s 2oceansvibe Weather Girls Show would have known about that awesome weekend weather that we had. God, it was good! Last night’s sunset (A bit of saturation never hurt anyone..) It was […]
This is how I’m rolling at the moment. I have just returned from a weekend away in Kommetjie where The Muse and I looked after The Surfer‘s pad. I offloaded the car into The Safe House and took in the sight of my new Puma bag, shoes and jacket. I liked what I saw and […]

It started yesterday when Martin L from Diletto emailed me mentioning something about 2oceansvibe being down. I forwarded the email to Chris at iMod (my tech/seo guru and fellow SA Blog Award winner) and between us we couldn’t find anything wrong. “Thanks, Martin” I replied – but everything looks fine now. He wrote back confirming […]

This incredible shot was sent in today by Mark C, showing the view of Cape Town from the Tygerberg region (home to De Grendel wines). Quite something! An ocean of cloud God only knows what is going on under that blanket!
A little bit awkward this whole vibe. It took place at at an after-party in New York for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala. Kiefer Sutherland was there and so was Brooke “Blue Lagoon” Shields. Then apparently this fashion designer guy, Jack McCollough, knocked Shields over. Whether it was on purpose or not […]
I mentioned to you (here) in early January about this job which epitomises the 2oceansvibe lifestyle and mantra – “Work is a sideline, live the holiday.” To recap, the Queensland Department of Tourism offered a job (here) as “an island caretaker” paying $150,000 a year, involving a lot of chilling, a lot of snorkelling and […]

You know it’s pretty serious when Sky News report on a lottery rollover! Just last week we were raging (here) about the EuroMillions jackpot sitting at £82 million, which worked out to R1 billion.

I was editing the last 2oceansvibe Weather Girls feature at iKraal head office the other day, and started playing some Tom Jones on my laptop. That’s when I received an email from Ken in the next room, with a link to this very early live video of “The Voice” dancing on stage. Oh my shattered […]
Now I’m sure you spotted those Woolworths Mother’s Day ads around 2oceansvibe. Mm, it gave you a fright, didn’t it? Mother’s Day always seems to creep up on me. It’s one of those tricky ones, because it’s not a set date. It’s one of those “second Sunday in the month” vibes. It IS in May, […]
That’s right, the 2009 Gumball 3000 Rally runs from 2 to 8 May. For those of you who don’t know what it’s about, it’s a lot like the scooter rally we went on the other day through Cape Town, except completely different. It’s a cross country/ies 3,000 miles long and is done in ultra-luxurious, rare […]
