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.

Hollywood A-lister and Man On Fire star, Denzel Washington, was spotted arriving at Sugarhut Club in Cape Town last night. The Oscar winning actor is in town to film a movie with Ryan Reynolds (Scarlett‘s ex). The movie is called Safe House, which is about a young CIA agent (Ryan) who must transport a dangerous criminal […]
2oceansvibe has a multitude of suppliers for every conceivable service and product. Now while the list certainly is extensive, I didn’t really ever need a Cape Town electrician. And boy have I been messed around! FINALLY, I have found someone I want you to know about – so you don’t have to go through the […]
My god, but I love this town. An entirely trustworthy-looking cardboard sign appeared on the M63 over the weekend, advertising ‘THERAPutic Herbal Weed’ which I haven’t called because chances are that the entirely whimsical sign will be made weird and uncomfortable by calling that number.
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.
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.
Skulls in lighthouses, unidentified bodies on Table Mountain, and mass food poisonings in Somerset West – it’s been a fairly strange three days in Cape Town.
Fellow Capetonians! You may, or may not be aware that Bafana Bafana will be clashing with the United States of America on the hallowed field of Cape Town Stadium this very evening at 21h30. The game is sold out, so needless to say, a fair number of pedestrians and vehicles will be thronging the streets. Thus, for your benefit, a list of road closure times around the city today.
Parking is a well-known bugbear for the citizens of the greater Cape Town Metropole, some might even say the situation is reaching a critical mass. But the men and women of of the Northern Suburbs are putting on a masterclass of guile and smarts in the parking department. Thanks to Mike and Mike’s brother for sending in the evidence.
Unless you have a penchant for getting shot in the face. Details are hazy, but word on the street is of an armed robbery in St Georges Mall, Cape Town, which is alleged to have spun slightly more out of control into a hostage drama. One shot was heard. Links to real time reports after the jump. [UPDATE: The perp is on the run]
Please enjoy this vibe. The dog is saying “My owner doesn’t understand me”. Well, that’s cute. But it’s wrong.
Scores of dead pigeons lay strewn across the Table Bay Boulevard in Cape Town on the weekend, metres from the Cape Town International Convention Centre. A report has indicated that while the birds were initially thought to have suffered from a mass bout of the deadly avine Newcastle’s Respiratory Disease (no relation to the mining […]
The Hartley 2 Comet’s Whistle Stop Tour Itinerary The periodically visible Hartley 2 Comet will make its best appearance since its discovery over Cape Town skies from late September through to early November. Please, enjoy this simple explanation from the Astronomical Society of Southern Africa.
On Saturday afternoon, at around 15h30, a group of young men in a white bakkie (that’s a “pick-up” or a “ute” for our foreign readers) called a Big Issue vendor over to their stationary vehicle at a traffic light in central Cape Town. They then allegedly poured acid water all over her, and her wares. […]
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 […]
Word on the street is that a valet attendant employed by the four star Grand Daddy on Long Street may have allegedly abused his position last Saturday night. And when we say “abused his position”, what we really mean to say is “stole a Grand Daddy client’s Mini Cooper Sport, and wrecked it Jub Jub […]

Portofino Restaurant opened one month ago in Cape Town. It’s where The Showroom used to be – next to Bloomsbury Luxury Cars and Harbour Edge. Maybe that is why they used the same font as Porsche cars in their logo. I recall a launch of sorts (less than a month ago), with much fanfare and […]
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 […]
