ON STAGE DISTRICT SIX – KANALA On the 11th February 1966 District Six was declared a white group area. Over 60,000 people were relocated. A way of life was destroyed. Fifty years have passed and today hardly anything remains of what was once a thriving, densely populated, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural community. The Fugard Theatre, located in District Six, will pay homage to what was once District Six – the place and its people.

The ex-high school mathematics and history teacher felt more comfortable wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt instead of chinos and an oversized blazer. This is a comedy about following the path less travelled and discovering that the real learning starts when school ends. Baxter Theatre, till 5 Mar, Tickets R90 - R100 from Computicket: 083 915 8000, www.computicket.mobi. THE KINGMAKERS A ‘pitch black’ political comedy The Kingmakers follows a group of oppositionparty strategists as they attempt to place a neutral party member in contention for leadership. After an internal power struggle leaves them out in the cold and on the fringes of the party, they come up with a plan to shape a seemingly ambition-less, but well-respected politician into a leader. With the help of a rising commercial corporation seeking political clout and possible government contracts, the stage is set for a merciless power grab and perhaps a chance at revenge. The Kingmakers is set in the familiar world of skullduggery, backstabbing, oneupmanship, disloyalty, blackmail and profiteering, otherwise known as South African politics. Our three heroes spend their days making sure the system works for no one except the lucky few or the ones

BYE BENECO/ AL BAIRRE – 13 MARCH

A World First Live Comedy Concept Production.

Al Bairre is a Cape Town-based, 4-piece symphonic indie pop band, who combine cello, violin, guitars, keys, ukelele and drums.

Nik Rabinowitz is The Power Struggler, who takes his audience on an insightful and hilarious journey across the History of Power through the ages. The story starts explosively, some 13.798 billion years ago with a rather Powerful Bang. 13 billion years later, the Laws of Physics are still a bit vague about what happened that night. All they know is they started with a singularity, and the next thing they know, there’s a brand new baby cosmos, running around being unruly and ineffable. Power Struggle is more than a Comedy Show, it is a Sustainability Consciousness Shifter. 50% of the production will be run on renewable energy. Lighting rigs will powered by Bio-Fuels Generators – the production will capture solar and other renewable power sources to operate the on stage gear. Audience members will see first-hand that how we think about our Power is no longer someone else’s problem…and maybe it never was.

John Wizards is a South African band from Cape Town.

OF MONSTERS AND MEN CONCERT – 30 MARCH Of Monsters and Men first had the world talking in 2011 with their inescapable and infectious quadruple-platinum smash “Little Talks.” An engaging mix of indie, folk, and alternative, the Icelandic quintet’s critically acclaimed full-length debut My Head Is An Animal [Republic Records] climbed to the top of the Billboard Top 200 chart and has sold over 2 million albums worldwide. JUNGLE CONCERT – 1 APRIL There is no blueprint to Jungle’s irresistible, life-enhancing, report-to-the-dancefloor sound but there are many ingredients. It’s P-Funk and ‘Grand Theft Auto’, it’s Curtis Mayfield and ‘Tron’, it’s the Beach Boys and Joy Division and Marvin Gaye and Can, all cut up and refracted in a London neighbourhood where anything can happen. Gates open at 16:00.

WE’VE SEEN AWARDS & NOMINATIONS: • ARIA Awards Best International Artist 2013 • Billboard Music Awards Top Rock Album 2013 for “My Head is an Animal” • ECHO Awards, Germany Best International Newcomer 2013 for “My Head is an Animal”

Of Monsters and Men the five-member, indie folk-pop band from Iceland came by celebrity by winning the Músíktilraunir in 2010 (an annual battle of the bands competition in Iceland). The band rocketed into fame and released their 2011 debut album My Head Is an Animal – this reached the No.1 position in Australia, Iceland, Ireland and the U.S. Rock and Alternative Charts, while peaking at No. 6 on the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart, No. 3 in the UK, and Top 20 of most European charts and Canada. The second studio album Beneath the Skin in was released in 2015 and is currently be toured. Inspired by storytelling, this buzz band is making sure that everyone who listens comes up with their own interpretations to their stories. Hello Cape Town managed to nail Ragnar “Raggi” þórhallsson down for a quick chat! Hello Raggi! First things first, we know you are the member who came up with your band’s name, however where on earth did it come from? Going way back, I started out in art school and I wanted to make a comic strip where the main characters would be like human beings or something, you know? Then I started adding layers and kinda

• Juno Awards Video of the Year 2013 for “Little Talks” • MTV Europe Music Awards Best World Stage 2012 for “Little Talks” • MTV Video Music Awards Best Art Direction 2012 for “Little Talks”

looking into all these stories of serial killers and stuff like that where ‘normal’ people were doing very bad and weird things. So I started writing about that. I guess the name Of Monsters and Men just came up as a pattern. How would you describe your music for those who are yet to be exposed to it? It’s very Intimate music. It’s about our lives. When we play we play with a lot of people, we go very big and we also go very small. I’d say it’s a very loud music with intimacy *laughs* What can you tell us about your recent album? We are very happy with it. We’ve been touring with it for about ½ a year now and we’re just getting into it. I’d say it’s a big difference from our first album because the the lyrics are more direct and more intimate. It is focused on us where the 1st album was more kinda carefree and fantastical. It’s also a lot different in that there is lot of happy drumming and electric guitar. We wanted to try out new sounds and instruments with our producer. We are so excited to have you here I South Africa! What can we expect from your show? We’ve never played there so I guess no one has ever seen us before! I can tell you from our previous shows people have a lot

• mtvU Woodie Awards Best Video Woodie 2013 for “Little Talks” For more information visit www.ofmonstersandmen.com

of fun! We just play our albums and have a great time. What would you say has been the biggest challenge for the group thus far? Um, I don’t know? It’s all been a fun adventure and it’s difficult to say what’s bad or negative. I suppose just travelling wise being and away from everyone – it can’t be helped when you’ve been on the road for a long time. Being in the band and having a girlfriend or family that you want to have around you is not possible. I’d say that’s what’s hardest I think. What would you say is the group’s short -term dream? I don’t know; it all kinds feels like we are in a dream already! *laughs* To be able to do this is more than I can ask for! Moving forward I’d say to put out another album. We’ve put out two albums already that we feel really great about and it’s given us good direction. I’m just enjoying myself and living in the moment. Before you love and leave us, do you have any advice for aspiring artists? Sure! It’s about you. Write music because you like to do it – not just to get recognised. Be brave. If you want to do it, it’s possible. Put yourself out there. Get the chance play a show and then a bigger show. If you love it, you give 100%, then just go for it! - TLR

La Petite Dauphine ART IN THE GARDEN AT KIRSTENBOSCH NBG Extinction! Dinosaurs, and Cycads? is a new exhibition in Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden. It features nine dinosaur sculptures in tin by David Huni, a young Zimbabwean artist. They are life-size and anatomically correct and are placed in amongst the cycads in the Cycad Amphitheatre. The exhibition will highlight the fact that many of South Africa’s cycads are on the brink of extinction, and could soon face the same fate as the dinosaurs, but it is a crisis caused not by an asteroid impact but almost entirely by mankind. The aim of the exhibition is to raise awareness about the threats faced by cycads, and to increase public participation and support for cycad conservation and research.

The Diamond Works Institute is considered a true diamond and jewellery expert. Established in 2001, it has evolved to be one of the most popular diamond facilities in Southern Africa.

TANZANITE The Diamond Works Institute extends its expertise in delineation of Tanzanite in our unique Tanzanite Boutique. This rare stone represents the essence of Africa, and we whisper the tales of this stone’s journey from the ground to the showroom. Tanzanite is noted for its remarkably strong trichroism; appearing alternately sapphire blue, violet and burgundy depending on crystal orientation. This blue mystical gem has earned a reputation for possessing magical powers. It is thought that it has the power to elevate the bearer’s mood and release them from poor habits or addictions. It is also believed, that tanzanite is able to restore spiritual balance and good fortune. Our Cape Town facility demonstrates the science of tanzanite polishing and the craft of transforming a tanzanite crystal to a cut stone.

WILDLIFE ALL YEAR AROUND INVERDOORN

The

SHARK WHISPERER

with Supreme Sharks

On a trip with Supreme Sharks, a shark cage diving company working from Kleinbaai, clients have the unique opportunity to meet the free diving shark expert Andre Hartman on the trip or at the clubhouse. Andre is one of South Africa’s few self-taught shark experts and is respected as such throughout the world. He was one of the first to take the ‘cage’ out of shark cage diving and his pioneering work with the Great White attracted numerous film crews to Kleinbaai, the shark capital of the world. He has featured in many documentaries for Discovery, CNN and National Geographic to name but a few. Andre got the name shark whisperer when he accidentally discovered that touching the tip of its snout would cause a shark to lung up and back in a trance-like manner for a few seconds. After his 2nd stroke he struggles to walk but is getting stronger every day and dreams of going back into the water with these fierce creatures. He now shares his knowledge of the Great White and multitude of stories with the crew and our passengers. “I’m just mesmerized by how they move and what they do, and that fascinates me. They’re like an airplane - they fly in the water. Those wings flex with the weight of the body.” Andre Hartman, African Voices, CNN 24 December 2014

BOULDERS PENGUIN COLONY

Inverdoorn Game Reserve and Iziba Safari Lodge is located in the Ceres Karoo, just two and a half hours from Cape Town. Stretching across 10 000 hectares, Inverdoorn is the largest private wildlife reserve in the area, providing sanctuary to an abundance of wildlife. The game reserve offers a premier safari experience including game drives, luxury accommodation and incredible insight into the rescue and rehabilitation of the cheetah. Driving over the well-beaten track that winds through the reserve, you may come across any number of animals. Making their way through the succulent plant life that characterises the floral diversity of the Karoo, you will find a myriad of antelope such as kudu, eland, impala, springbok and gemsbok. You will be captivated by the distinct markings of the zebra and the graceful gait of the giraffe, while the brute power of the buffalo and the majestic beauty of the Cape Barbary lion will astound you.Perched atop a safari vehicle or standing in a lookout point within the heart of the reserve you will be lost in the awesome vastness which surrounds you, as well as the solitude of the Karoo. Rangers add a rich element of humour and storytelling to the safari with anecdotes of the animals, wildlife facts and, most importantly, the threats facing many species today.

Boulders Penguin Colony in Simons Town is home to a unique and endangered land-based colony of African Penguins. This colony is one of only a few in the world, and the site has become famous and a popular international tourist destination. The Boulders section of Table Mountain National Park consists of 3 pristine beaches, 1 penguin viewing area and 3 boardwalks. The boardwalks were built as a measure to allow for viewing of these wonderful birds, whilst keeping them safe from poking fingers, so please be sure to stay on the boardwalks at all times within the viewing area. This beach is ideal for children as immense boulders shelter the cove from currents, wind and large waves - but please always take care. Don’t touch or feed the penguins – they may look cute and cuddly but their beaks are as sharp as razors and if they feel threatened they have no qualms about nipping the odd finger or nose. Boulders Visitor Centre: +27(0) 21 786 2329. Gate hours: Winter: April - September 08:00 - 17:00, Summer: December - January 07:00 - 19:30; February - March - 08:00 - 18:30; October - November - 08:00 - 18:30. CAPE FUR SEAL

At the safari lodge guest have the opportunity to unwind, and may even see the cheetahs going on daily walks with their handlers. This beautiful, big cat is the heart and soul of Inverdoorn. In 2001 Cape Cheetah was established, which seeks to rescue and rehabilitate cheetahs and, ultimately, release them into the wild. In 2012 Inverdoorn became home to the Big 5. Since its inception, the reserve has reintroduced many of the members into the region through their conservation efforts. The male lion was rescued from trophy hunting, while rhinos have a long history at the reserve, with their conservation led by RhinoProtect. This organisation developed a horn treatment to ward off poachers, and established an orphanage for calves victimised by poaching. Free-roaming elephants are also back, having been eradicated from the area for 150 years.

volatile creatures on safari. The Cape leopard has long been an inhabitant of the vast mountain ranges, but its solitary and nocturnal habits make it an elusive creature. The search for the Big 5 is the highlight of many safaris, and Inverdoorn delivers a once-in-a-lifetime experience searching for these famous creatures.

The buffalo herd is healthy and continually expanding. You are bound to see these

Duiker Island is a Cape Fur Seal and bird sanctuary, home to thousands of seals and many birds such as the Cape Cormorant, the Bank Cormorants, Black Back Gulls, Kelp Gulls and Hartlaub Gulls. It is illegal to go onto the island. The majority of the seals on Duiker Island are males waiting out their time until they reach the right breeding age, which is between the ages of 8 to 12 years depending on their size. Duiker Island is not a breeding colony as the sea can get very rough and the pups get swept off. The island is most densely populated from January through March due to the seals moulting. During this period they

do not go off in search of food but rely on fats they have stored in their blubber. Breeding is a continuous cycle and takes place in November/ December in breeding colonies around the coastline of South Africa and Namibia. After fertilization there is a dormant period of 4 months and thereafter development continues, making the active gestation period 8 months. The pups are then born in late November early December. A cow usually only has one pup at a time when she reaches the breeding age which is 4-5 years old. She knows her pup by its smell and call and she will only mother her own offspring. Pups are entirely dependent on milk for the first 6 months. They are weaned between 8-10 months old. They grow quickly and start to swim at 6 weeks old. By about 7 months they can spend 2-3 days at sea on their own and can already swim long distances. It has been noted that tagged seals have swum from Cape Town to Cape Cross in Namibia, a distance of 1600 kms at the age of 8 months. The Cape Fur Seal dives to a depth of 36m on average but diving abilities varies between species. Their ears and nostrils close tightly when they dive and they cannot breathe underwater. Even while sleeping in the water they have to surface to breathe, every 10-15 minutes for young ones and 30 minutes for the adults. Drumbeat Charters from Hout Bay Harbour cruise to Duiker Island between 4-6 time a day and you can get there by using MyCiti bus or the City Sightseeing red, double decker busses of the mini peninsula tour. Reservation is no necessary but if you’d like to check the option off a private cruise or more details see: www.drumbeatcharters.co.za or call 021 - 791 4441 GREAT WHITE SHARK

For adventurous travellers, great white shark cage diving is a must! Day trips are offered by companies in Gansbaai, or boats leave from Simon’s Town. Great White sharks are some of Cape Town’s most famous and respected marine inhabitants. Love them or fear them, getting up close and personal with a great white is one of the most adrenaline-fueled experiences you can encounter while visiting the Cape. It is estimated that there are only about 5 000 great white sharks left in the oceans and the Kleinbaai and Gansbaai coastline of the Western Cape has the greatest concentration of these predators. The best time for viewing these beasts is between June and September. SHARK CAGE DIVING: The funds raised from great white experiences and tours in Cape Town are helping scientist learn more about their behaviour and funding shark research in the Cape. Most shark experiences happen off the coast of Gansbaai or Kleinbaai, two hours outside of Cape Town. Book with one of our accredited tour partners to make sure you’re in the right place at the right time and get face-to-face with the ocean’s greatest predator. Hello Cape Town March 2016 l

Other Supreme Offerings We also offer breaching trips where clients can view sharks hunting in their natural habitat. These trips are specifically popular with the ardent photographer. Sharks come up from the depth of the ocean, hiding in the water’s dark shadows, and jump with great speed and agility to ‘catch’ their prey above the surface. These trips are scheduled for early mornings whilst the sun is rising which is when the sharks are most active. Breaching trips can be arranged with or without shark cage diving afterwards.

I decided to study Naturopathy - little did I know my whole life would change in an instant when I discovered the most amazing performance of healing bodywork. This was my turning point: Hawaiian temple massage. For the next 25 years I pursued this path and began to work internationally, writing 4 books in the process.

I returned home to Cape Town in 2008, the wild passion & beauty of this country sparked my artistic career to new heights. At the young age of 60 I am living my dream. I have my own gallery that showcases my works. It is also a venue for private dance classes in which I collaborate with a master Kizomba dancer, Braulio Faria, and as he dances with his students I paint the action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To surrender to the music, to the dance, and to feel that passion flow through you is what the dance art experience is about Tel: 0740517433 www.leeorahhursky.com Gallery 301.

Hello Cape Town March 2016 l

WHAT TO SEE TABLE MOUNTAIN Rising up as a surreal backdrop to all of Cape Town is the extraordinary Table Mountain, and the state of the art Table Mountain Aerial Cableway will whisk you to the top in a picturesque 5-minute ride. Table Mountain is among the most popular attractions in the world, and it is no surprise that it holds the title as one of the New7Wonders of Nature. And while it’s impressive from pretty much anywhere in the City Bowl, it’s not until you soar to the top in an exhilarating ride on the cable car, with its rotating floor, that you can truly appreciate its stature, and the incredible city of Cape Town that bustles far below. Operating Hours: First car up 16 Sept to 30 Apr: 8:00 and 1 May to 15 Sept: 8:30. Last car down varies with sunset times but not before 17:00. Tel: 021 424 0015 www.tablemountain.net KIRSTENBOSCH There are few places in the Mother City as tranquil as Kirstenbosch Gardens, and at least once during your visit, when you stop to catch your breath and absorb the splendour of your surroundings, you’ll wonder how it’s possible that the bustling, buzzing city of Cape Town is just a stone’s throw away. These sprawling, land-scaped gardens cover 36 hectares on the slopes of Table Mountain, and they blend in so effortlessly and majestically with the natural vegetation that you’d be forgiven for not realising their true scale. And when you consider how much there is to see and do in the gardens, from atmospheric sunset concerts and movie screenings, through to guided walks, popular restaurants, and an award-winning treetop walkway, it’s quite likely you’ll be planning your return visit before you’ve even left.

The Two Oceans Aquarium is ideally positioned to showcase the incredible diversity of marine life found in these two oceans. The Aquarium holds over 3000 living sea animals, including sharks, fishes, turtles and penguins can be seen in this spectacular underwater nature reserve. The two ocean aquarium has established itself as a key player in raising environmental awareness through its high-quality exhibits, conservation and education programmes. Operating Hours: The Aquarium is open every day (365 days a year, including all public holidays) from 09:30 until 18:00. Tel: 021 418 3823 www.aquarium.co.za CAPE OF GOOD HOPE There are few things as exhilarating as standing at the base of a beautiful, 150 year old lighthouse, perched precariously high above the swirling Atlantic Ocean, and knowing that you’re at the most southwestern tip of Africa. Knowing that the next closest landmass, when you look across the icy seas, is Antarctica – more than 4,000 kilometres away. The panoramic views that spread out before you are breath-taking. Literally, because you’ve just earned them with a final push up the final flight of stairs from the upper funicular station. And once you’re there, it’s impossible not to spend a few silent minutes taking in the gravity of the dramatic location, before you instinctively reach for your camera.

the spectacular backdrop of the mountains and coastline of the most south western point in Africa. Cape Point offers visitors excellent viewing opportunities from the two lighthouses that adorn the point – one still functional, informative interpretive signage that traces the cultural and natural history of the Point. The lighthouse is accessible by foot or you can catch the Flying Dutchman funicular to the top. P.S. Baboons in the parking lot are not a rare picture as one might think.

This beach is ideal for kids as immense boulders shelter the cove from currents, wind and large waves - but please always take care. Also, don’t touch or feed the penguins. They might look cute and cuddly but their beaks are as sharp as razors and if they feel threatened they have no qualms about nipping the odd finger or nose.
