    suburbs, home to the vast majority of thecitys citizens. Friendly as Capetonians canbe to visitors, among themselves suspicionsand misinterpretations endure, and if youtake one of the deservedly popular tripsinto the townships (p81) youll be a stepahead of the vast majority of locals.

    Seeing life in the townships may shock

    and upset, but youll also discover its nota one-note story of grim survival. Thereare huge differences in lifestyle and manygreat examples of civic pride and optimismto balance against the shocking crime andHIV/AIDS statistics. And theres ubuntu,true African hospitality and care for fellow

    human beings. Look across the city and youll also see people of all skin colours workingtogether to make Cape Town a better place for everyone. Discovering the Mother Citystrue diversity and spirit is all part of getting the most out of a visit here.

    Reality check aside, Cape Town is an old pro at showing visitors a good time. Theremay not be game parks on Krugers scale, but there are plenty of great wildlife-spottingopportunities, from the penguins at Boulders to the antelopes, buffaloes and black rhinoat Solole Game Reserve. The restaurants and bars compare favourably with those of othercosmopolitan cities. Theres a lively cultural scene, particularly when it comes to music,which pervades every corner of the city, and if outdoor activities and adrenaline buzzesare your thing, youve come to the right place. As local troubadour David Krammerssing-along anthem for the Cricket World Cup has it, Welcome to Cape Town/Enjoy theparty/Come in and have some fun/Cape Towns number one.

    The capital of Western Cape province and the parliamentary capital of the republic, CapeTown works in a way that so few cities on the African continent do. Historic buildings havebeen saved, businesses are booming, inner-city crime is coming under control and youllseldom be stuck for a parking space. Factor back in those stunning mountains, magnificentsurf beaches and outstanding vineyards and youll soon discover like many before you that its easy to lose track of time while exploring all the wonders of this unique SouthernAfrican city. Now dont you think its time you made a date with Cape Town?

    HEBEGINNING

    g g y jalong the motor corridor linking the city with the airport. Urban renewal projects werealso announced for Mitchells Plain, one of the most populous coloured areas of the city.Meanwhile, the City Bowl and surrounding areas continued to benefit from increasedsecurity and the development of ritzy, loft-style apartments in grand, old structures suchas Mutual Heights (p97).

    Full integration of the citys mixed population, though, is a long way off, if its achiev-able at all. The vast majority of Capetonians continue to live in the bleak, impoverishedcommunities of the Cape Flats, split along racial lines and suffering horrendous economic,social and health problems.
