The TWO OCEANS Hermanus Whale Festival celebrating its 20th year as the only enviro-arts festival in South Africa, “puts the creatures of the deep on stage and under the spotlight alongside top performers and musicians from 30 September to 4 October”

Hermanus, known as the best land-based whale watching destination in the world, plays host to thousands of visitors (2010 we welcomed 130 000 visitors) who flock to the seaside resort to exhilarate in the unique natural environment, watch the whales and revel in music, and African rhythms during the festival

The Whales are always the star performers at the festival and will be joined on land by great food, quality crafters, sport events, kids entertainment and thousands of people celebrating Spring in the most beautiful place on earth – Hermanus

Our Evening Music line-up in the TWO OCEANS MARQUEE on Market Square is PRIME CIRCLE on Friday 30 September and Dr Victor and the Rasta Rebels on the Saturday 1 October. Tickets will shortly be available through Computicket.

The 2010 Festival spread its wings to include ten venues around Hermanus and we plan to further extend this in 2011 to include Mount Pleasant, Zwelihle and Gateway Shopping Centre amongst others. We are pleased to introduce the Checkers Living Table to the 2011 festival, who will provide a FIFTY meter marquee offering visitors the opportunity to meet Nataniel and Jenny Morris amongst others who will be doing cooking demonstrations, hosting the living table while visitors enjoy some snacks and a glass of wine. Seating will be provided for 150 people and will take place on the hour from 10:30 on each festival day.

Say NO to Traffic Violations!

We call on all Capetonians to obey and respect traffic signs.
Although Cape Town citizens are known for their friendly and relaxed personality’s it is amazing to see how many ignorant drivers there are on the roads of Cape Town.

After a study in Bothasig, Richwood and Plattekloof an average of 8/10 people ignore stop signs. Traffic lights on the corner of De Villiers and Wellington Road in Durbanville and the corner of Koeberg and Race Court Road are also problem areas that need to be attended to. These set’s of Traffic Lights changes every 3 to 4 minutes and drivers do get impatient and take mater into their own hands.

Another matter that needs urgent attention is the two sets of traffic lights on the off ramp from the N7 and Bosmansdam Road facing South. The timing and short shift of these traffic lights is way out of sequence and thus leading to major traffic build up in the mornings and afternoon. Busses and trucks use this route out of Montaque Gardens and on the red light they will squeeze in on the bend giving no change for the road users facing south to get on to Bosmansdam.

It also amazes one how well the pedestrian walk ways (Zebra Crossing’s) works in the Waterfront, but nowhere else in Cape Town. It just seems that people don’t care, unless it’s been controlled.

It also concern one that there is confusion on round-abouts (Traffic Circle’s).
