  • Fifty Things to Do for Under R50 (AU$5) in Cape Town in 2015
    Fifty things to do for under R50 (AU$5) in Cape Town in 2015 There are so many ways to enjoy what Cape Town has to offer without spending a fortune. Here are 50 ways to explore this gorgeous city for a mere R50 or less. 1. TAKE A HOP-ON HOP-OFF TRAIN TRIP ALONG THE SOUTHERN LINE RAIL ROUTE Image: St. James train view, captured by Mike Metlerkamp Cost: R30 for the hop-on, hop-off ticket The Southern Line Rail Route stretches between Cape Town and Simon's Town. Besides it being a great way of getting from A to B, it’s also a relaxing way of seeing Cape Town’s varied scenes. The part of the journey between Muizenbergand Simon's Town winds along the edge of the ocean and the views are brilliant. Buy the hop-on, hop-off ticket and stop at Muizenberg for a surf; Kalky’s in Kalk Bay for some mouth-watering fish and chips; and Simonstown for a trip toBoulders Beach for a visit with the penguins. 2. GO HIPPO SPOTTING AND BIRD WATCHING IN RONDEVLEI NATURE RESERVE You can see plenty of birds at Rondevlei Nature Reserve Cost: R12 entry for adults and R5 for kids Rondevlei is an unexpected treasure situated within the Cape Town suburb of Grassy Park, about 20 min drive from the city centre. Home to some 256 species of indigenous plants, it spans 290 hectares and has a museum, a network of footpaths, viewing towers, and several bird hides. It is also home to – wait for it – Hippopotami as well as 20 other mammal species, including the Cape Grysbok Porcupine, Cape Clawless Otter and Large-Spotted Genet.

  • Republic of South Africa in the HIGH COURT of SOUTH
    Republic of South Africa IN THE HIGH COURT OF SOUTH AFRICA [WESTERN CAPE DIVISION, CAPE TOWN] Case No. 8589 /2015 In the matter between: The Labia Theatre CC Applicant And South African Human Rights Commission First Respondent Right2Know Campaign. Second Respondent Palestinian Solidarity Campaign. Third Respondent AND IN THE EQUALITY COURT OF SOUTH AFRICA (WESTERN CAPE DIVISION, CAPE TOWN) Case No: EC11/2015 In the matter between: Palestinian Solidarity Campaign Applicant And The Labia Theatre CC First Respondent South African Human Rights Commission Second Respondent Right2Know Campaign Third Respondent JUDGMENT: DELIVERED 26 MARCH 2021 LE GRANGE, J Introduction: [1] These are two different matters with the same parties. I have written one judgment as the factual matrix underpinning both are largely the same. In the first matter, (“the Review Application”) the Applicant, (“Labia”), seeks the review and setting aside of the First Respondent’s (“SAHRC”) decision taken on 14 November 2014, upholding the Second and Third Respondents’ (“R2K” and “PSC”) complaint, and ordering Labia to screen the film ‘the Roadmap to Apartheid’ (“the film”). In the second matter, PSC has lodged a complaint in the Equality Court against Labia for refusing to screen the film. Background: 2 [2] The salient facts underpinning both matters can be summarised as follows: Labia is a small, privately funded, independent cinema. It receives no state funding. Its main source of income is generated by showing films on a weekly basis. It also offers private screening whereby companies, individuals or organisations can contract with it to lease the cinema to screen a production. Labia, describes itself as a cinema on the alternative circuit that mainly appeals to the more discerning viewer who enjoys its quality product and the charm of its old - world ambience.
