The sunshine on Friday afternoon has Capetonians fooled. Unfortunately, the SA Weather Service has advised the City’s Disaster Management Centre that an "intense" cold front is expected to make landfall over the Western Cape tomorrow afternoon.
It's therefore best to make the most of Saturday morning with a quick visit to some of the "usual" attractions: a walk in the Company Gardens, on Lion’s Head, at the Sea Point Promenade (from Mouille Point) and in the picturesque Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens; trekking along the Constantia Wine Route or visiting Boulders Beach, home to a large colony of African penguins.
Or perhaps one of ww.capetownmagazine.com's pick of the best events excites you.
