    • The Capetonians have been around since 1652, thus their pedigree is always noted: knowing of their Dutch, English, French, German, Portuguese, Flemish, Greek, Italian, Lithuanian, Java etc genetic links;
    that Cape Town having been a port of the Global Trade seaways, with the blood links, and nowadays, it's airlinks; and
    since the lifting of Economic Sanctions of the 80's, also supplier of some of the finest New World Modified Nectars of Bacchus;
    It's understandanble why Culuture is so important.

    • their humour, their traditions, their foods
    all sperlatives;
    for those who know "old adderley" street and the flowers vendors, the witty biting remarks;
    the removal of District ^ and others to lands too far away, took away the original heart and soul of Ou Kaapstad.

    Bo Kaap below Signal Hill has a touch, but not as intense as before.

     I'm happy for Mother City to have Helen Zille for a mayor. At least some hope after for SA after Zuma's victory. Hopefully, the winds of change will come from Western Cape this time....    		mallyak Wed Feb 13, 2008 21:21 UTC
