PETE TONG ALL GONE RHINO Coming to South Africa to perform in Ballito and Cape Town, British DJ Pete Tong took the time to visit Inverdoorn Game Reserve and Iziba Safari Lodge.

Personal encounters with a tame cheetah and new baby rhinos, Bundu and Livinia, familiarised him with the reserve’s conservation efforts RhinoProtect and Western Cape Cheetah Conservation and Tong is eager to join the fight to save endangered wildlife.

Celebrities are often glimpsed, as they get in touch with nature at Inverdoorn.

Coldplay shot part of their music video for the song Paradise at the reserve.

Tokio Hotel and Sean Kingston also visited and The Wailers performed in Cape Town in support of RhinoProtect. Esteemed actors Rutger Hauer and Ingrid Chauvin are amongst other celebrated guests who were touched by the animal interactions and the initiatives that propel the reserve.

Inverdoorn has become a conservation stronghold – this past year saw them provide a home to the baby rhinos who were orphaned after their mothers fell victim to poachers. Elephants were re-introduced to the Karoo after being relocated to Inverdoorn. Raised in captivity they are now free-roaming and complete the reserve as a big five safari destination. The involvement of key figures such as Pete Tong could do much to help Inverdoorn elevate awareness about South Africa’s natural heritage and the dangers it must combat.

Hello Cape Town

ICONIC CAPE TOWN Mzoli - The Man, The Legend and The Business

Mzoli’s (also known as Mzoli's Palace, Mzoli's Meat, or Mzoli's Butchery) opened in 2003 selling meat informally from a garage and was named after its illustrious founder Mzoli Ngcawuzele.

marinade smothered succulent meat is generously served. Owner, Mzoli Ngcawuzele has adopted the same maxim since the start of the business all those years ago,

Mzoli's is a meat market and eatery, a mere twenty minute drive from Cape Town positioned in a large, covered canteen (with plastic tables and chairs) that sells meat to patrons who in turn hire independent traders running braai stalls on the grounds to grill the meat and prepare meals.

“I wanted to bring all people, from all walks of life together, through a piece of meat”.

Mzoli's is a rustic, mouth-watering and a genuine township experience. Upon arrival patrons are met by large crowds, deep house music and plumes of wonderfully aromatic smoke.

Almost 10 years on, Mzoli’s is recognised as one of the most popular and trendy venues in Cape Town.

It has been endorsed by the likes of DJ Fresh, Tony Yengeni and TV chef, Jamie Oliver.

And so he has, the eatery is frequented by locals, tourists, students, fashionistas and businesspeoplehundreds of patrons mingling together to create a diverse and colourful canvas.

Diners are expected to mingle with people with whom you would not normally have the opportunity to interact with. It is recommended to book well in advance or to arrive before midday to ensure you receive a table.

A suggestion when visiting is to bring your own utensils (bowls, knives, forks, lots of serviettes) and to go to the nearby shop to buy your alcohol (or you can bring your own).

Mzoli Ngcawuzele’s latest project has been the successful creation of the 25 338m2 Gugulethu Square Mall, the first of its kind in the 50 year history of Gugulethu, which includes all the national retailers under one roof and has played host to the Tops at SPAR Guglethu Wine Festival for the last 3 years.

Ensure you’re hungry upon arrival as the secret

This has ensured that the area was uplifted by

improving the living standards and creating employment.

"In addition to providing job and ownership opportunities, Gugulethu Square offers local residents one-stop shopping facilities on their doorstep, thus curbing the need for long distance travelling," Mzoli says.

The Tops at SPAR Guglethu Wine Festival was developed to bring the Cape’s fine wines to the people of one of Cape Town’s oldest townships, through a fun, and education celebration. Locals and visitors from all over also have a chance to explore the area.

Winemakers that showed their ranges this year included Groot Constantia, JC Le Roux, Krone, KWV, Nederburg, Pongrácz, Spier, Vergenoegd and many others. Heart FM, City Press, TOPS and other stands joined the festivities, while Mzolis’ hugely popular braai specialities were also available to be sampled over the course of the event.

Pieces of a Dream by Gillian Warren-Brown Pieces of a Dream – the story of Dance for All is a beautiful coffee-table book that features more than 70 images by top photographers, which complement the text by award-winning writer Gillian Warren-Brown.

Philip Boyd, a principal dancer with CAPAB Ballet, started Dance for All (DFA) in 1991, with the support of his late wife, Prima Ballerina Assoluta Phyllis Spira. The book chronicles the growth and development of this non-profit organisation, which is dedicated to the upliftment of children from historically disadvantaged communities in and around Cape Town.

The text is brought to life through interviews with some of these students, past and present, as well as with CEO Philip Boyd, Company Manager Marlene Carstens, other members of staff, long-time supporters and observers of DFA. In an engaging, anecdotal style, the challenges of running a non-profit organisation are juxtaposed with uplifting stories of hope, triumph and success.

DINE RESPONSIBLY DURING HEARTY STREETSMART SOUP SEASON Dine responsibly and tuck into hearty winter one pot wonders when popular Cape Town and Winelands restaurants cook up a storm during StreetSmart Soup Season from June to August. Some StreetSmart restaurants will serve delicious soups throughout the winter to raise funds and heighten awareness. Working hand in hand with NGO’s actively involved in the social development and rehabilitation of street children, StreetSmart raises funds through a voluntary R5 donation with each table’s bill at participating restaurants.

In addition to offering locals nourishing winter soups, StreetSmart Soup Season is aimed at making more people aware that it is better to support the wonderful work StreetSmart beneficiary NGO’s are doing to extend a hand to these marginalised youths, than to give money to children living on the streets. "Please do not give money to children on the street as it will keep them there. Rather suggest that the child goes to one of the shelters which can really help them, and by dining in StreetSmart restaurants diners support such initiatives," says Nils Heckscher, Chairperson of StreetSmart SA. Since its inception in June 2005, StreetSmart has raised over R6.4 million through participating restaurants and private donations all contributing towards social development and educational upliftment projects for street children in their respective areas.StreetSmart SAis a registered Public Benefit Organisation as well as a Non-Profit Organisation and ensures that every cent donated by diners goes towards social and educational upliftment projects for street children.

CAPE TOWN

The organisation was set up under the patronage of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu by a group of concerned Capetonians and comprises resourceful board members representing business and the hospitality and tourism industries. Similar StreetSmart organisations also run independently in the UK, San Francisco, Australia, New Zealand, Vancouver and India.

Not sure where to go for a wine route adventure? It all depends on how much time you have and how much of day - or week - you’d like to make of it. For those with very little time, you’ll be happy to know that Cape Town’s CBD presents a host of wine bars that will guide you through a virtual wine tasting of practically any estate you choose. But for those who do have some time...

21 Hello Cape Town

WILDLIFE ALL YEAR OSTRICH FARMING History reveals that ostrich chicks were traded by the original Khoi inhabitants with the Dutch Settlers in 1652 and exported from Cape Town to Batavia (now Indonesia) in 1656. There were also exports to India and the Emperor of Japan in 1658. The first documented ostrich farm was established in the centre of Cape Town in 1679.

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.

Lion (Pantheraleo): The lion is a large carnivorous feline of Africa and northwest India, having a short, tawny coat, a tufted tail, and, in the male, a heavy mane around the neck and shoulders. A lion may attack without provocation, and is considered by many to be the best of the Big Five.

The ostrich is the world’s largest living bird, averaging 2m (6.5ft) in height and weighing up to 156kg (344lb).

BIG 5 SAFARI SHARK CAGE DIVING Great white sharks are the apex predators of our oceans and Cape Town is one of the shark cage diving capitals of the world. Sharks are iconic and magnificent creatures. Experience a great white shark up close and personal with a shark diving or shark viewing tour (you don’t have to get in the cage!) and you do not need a scuba diving certificate to shark cage dive.

Great White Shark, Cage Diving takes place from April to September in False Bay (departs from Simon’s Town) and all year round from Gansbaai (2 hours from Cape Town).

The phrase Big Five game was coined by white hunters and refers to the five most difficult animals in Africa to hunt on foot. The collection consists of the lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros.

African Big Five Game Species: African bush elephant (Loxodontaafricana): The African elephant is a very large herbivore having thick, almost hairless skin, a long, flexible, prehensile trunk, upper incisors forming long curved tusks of ivory, and large, fan-shaped ears.

There are two distinct species of African elephant: African forest elephant (Loxodontacyclotis) and the African bush elephant (Loxodontaafricana). Black rhinoceros (Dicerosbicornis):The black rhinoceros is a large, thick-skinned herbivore having one or two upright horns on the nasal bridge. Rhinoceros may refer to either black or white rhinoceros.

African cape buffalo (Synceruscaffer): The African

CAPE FUR SEAL Situated only 8 nautical miles (about 16km) from Simon’s Town, Seal Island is home to 75,000 Cape Fur Seals, 24 different bird species and the hunting ground of the Great White Shark. All year round we often encounter Dolphins, Humpback whales and Brydes whales. From July to November the Southern Right whales are plentiful in the bay and you can be assured of a sighting.

During the winter months the Great White Sharks are extremely active around the island and we enjoy many sightings and often witness natural predations. The main breeding season for the Cape Fur Seal is November and December when almost 20 000 pups are born.

The majority of the seals on Duiker Island, out of Hout Bay Harbour, are males waiting out their time until they

or cape buffalo is a large horned bovid. Buffalo are sometimes reported to kill more people in Africa than any other animal, although the same claim is also made of hippos and crocodiles. It is considered the most dangerous of the Big Five, reportedly causing the most hunter deaths, with wounded animals reported to ambush and attack pursuers.

Lions habituate the savanna where tall grasses, shrubs and bushes obscure and provide them cover and camouflage. This thick undergrowth is commonly referred to as jess. As lions are ambush hunters, they use this natural cover to stalk close as possible before making a final charge to catch their prey. Lions do not generally avoid confrontation, but will usually face the challenger. Lions are unpredictable and may charge when sufficiently annoyed or confronted by danger.

Leopard (Pantherapardus): The leopard is a large, carnivorous feline having either tawny fur with dark rosette-like markings or black fur. They are wary of humans and will take flight in the face of danger. The leopard is solitary by nature, and is most active between sunset and sunrise, although it may hunt during the day in some areas. Leopards can be found in the savanna grasslands, brush land and forested areas in Africa.

The male leopard is less than half the size of a male lion. The leopard is the smallest of the big cats, and rarely exceeds 200 lb (91 kg).

A visit to a South African reserve will, most likely, allow seeing not only the big 5 but other habitants of the African bush. Although the stock will be different between various reserves you’ll be able to watch: Giraffes, Elands, Springbok, Hippopotamus and Zebras.

ROUND CAPE PENINSULA BABOONS The Baboon Matters Trust comprises a handful of dedicated volunteers who are at the forefront of baboon conservation in South Africa. The goals of the trust include raising awareness for the plight of baboons as well as education and training so that sustainable solutions can be found for areas of conflict between man and baboon. On a practical level the trust makes provision for the rescue and care of injured or sick baboons, and aims to support rehabilitation centres that focus their attention on baboons.

Cape Species: The Chacma Baboon (Papioursinus), also known as the Cape Baboon, is, like all other baboons, from the Old World monkey family. With a body length of up to 115 cm and a weight from 15 to 31 kg, it is among the largest and heaviest baboon species. The Chacma is generally dark brown to gray in color, with a patch of rough hair on the nape of its neck.

Unlike the northern baboon species (the Guinea, Hamadryas, and Olive Baboons), Chacma males do not have a mane. Perhaps the most distinctive feature of this baboon is its long, downward sloping face. Males can have canine teeth as long as 2 inches (longer than a lion’s canine teeth). Baboons are sexually dimorphic, males being considerably larger than females.

The Chacma Baboon is found in southern Africa, ranging from South Africa north to Angola, Zambia, and Mozambique. Size and color vary within that range.

Chacmas usually live in social groups composed of multiple adult males, adult females, and their offspring. Occasionally, however, very small groups form that include only a single adult male and several adult females.

Chacma troops are characterized by a dominance hierarchy. Female ranking within the troop is inherited through the mother and remains quite fixed, while male ranking is tenuous and changes often. Chacmas are unusual among baboons in that neither males nor females form strong relationships with members of the same sex. Instead, the strongest social bonds are often between unrelated adult males and females. (Wikipedia)

BOULDERS BEACH PENGUINS A visit to the famous Boulders Beach penguins should be part of every Cape Town itinerary. The penguins from this growing colony allow for close encounters with these famous sea birds - and most tourists fall helplessly in love with them. The story of the African penguins at Boulders Beach is one of remarkable urban colonization, but the species as a whole faces many threats and these aquatic flightless birds are listed as endangered.

The story of the penguin colony in Cape Town started in 1983 when a pair was spotted on Foxy Beach at Boulders. Since then the colony has grown rapidly and now totals about 3 000 Boulders Beach penguins. The birds came to False Bay from Dyer Island after the reduction in commercial pelagic trawling, which has increased the supply of pilchards and anchovy - part of the penguins’ diet. Boulders Beach is located in Simon’s Town, just over the hilly peninsula from Cape Town. It’s easily accessible by bus, car, taxi or train.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES DAY TOURS Best of the Cape combo tour allows you to experience the very best the Cape has to offer: Majestic mountains, beautiful beaches, spectacular scenery, unique flowers and wildlife.

Winelands - Full Day is an opportunity to visit three premier wine regions, Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl where you will savour enchanting scenery with delectable wines. Don’t miss this opportunity to tempt your taste buds and educate your palate.

Winelands - Half Day is for when you are pushed for time. This beautiful half day tour will encompass the very best of the wine route.

Whale Watching (Seasonal) will take you to a splendid scenic drive and experience the majestic beauty of Southern Right Whales basking in the warm waters of the Hermanus Coastline.

Shark Cage Diving is a thrill of getting up close and personal with one of the most feared predators on earth. Your personal encounter with one of the fine species is now easily turned into a reality as the Cape coast provides several opportunities to witness Great White sharks first hand.

Breaching and predation generally takes place in False Bay between the months of April and September. Cage diving and viewing can be done year round in Gansbaai.

Cape Peninsula - Full Day has many gems to be explored. From the rocky outcrops and steep cliffs of Cape Point to the beautiful sandy beaches of Clifton; this tour encompasses all of this and so much more.

Combined with the diverse wildlife, friendly people and delicious food the Cape Peninsula Tour is certainly a taster of why so many people fall in love with this wonderful city.

The Peninsula Half Day tour is an ideal quickview of Cape Town and the beauty surrounding it.

A taster tour that encompasses the highlights of the Southern Peninsula; the beautiful scenery, wildlife and history.

Ideal if you are pushed for time or if you favour a shorter length tour, your guide will ensure that you experience more than you could have imagined.

Our unique touring concept, allows you to choose your own destinations with the experienced assistance of a guide.

Hello Cape Town 28

thrill of exploring the depths of the Western Cape seas, look no further. Table Bay Diving has daily scheduled dives either with shore entry or from a semi rigid boat.

Diving destinations vary on a daily basis, depending on wind and suitable visibility. One day you may be diving in the warm Indian Ocean, the next day in the cold Atlantic.

The varying water temperatures provide an interesting variety of fish life, soft corals, Nudibranchs, anemones, crayfish and other small fish present.

The boat is launched either from Hout Bay (Atlantic) or (False Bay yacht club or Millers point). These two slipways give easy access to all the dive sites.

Shore entry’s can make pretty exiting diving.

Our professional team of PADI certified instructors and dive masters will see to it that you get the most out of this unique diving experience.

RUNNING THE SCENIC ROUTE Keep fit while taking in the scenery at new running route Framed by Table Mountain on the one side and the glistening Atlantic Ocean on the other, the V&A Waterfront's newly launched 2.2km and 5km running route offers one of the most picturesque running tracks in the country. The route reaches the Breakwater and the newly developed scenic Boardwalk Path which forms part of the route. The Boardwalk offers various scenic lookout points where runners and walkers alike can take a breather as they soak up the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean, and possibly even spot a frolicking seal or a pod of dolphins. The 2.2km route is marked in yellow while the 5km run is marked in red, and both are clearly sign posted making it easy for runners to track their distance. Free maps of the route are available from the Tourist Information Centre.

33 Hello Cape Town

SHOPPING KRUGERRAND The Krugerrand is a South African gold coin, first minted in 1967 to help market South African gold. The coin, produced by the South African Mint, proved popular and by 1980 the Krugerrand accounted for 90% of the gold coin market. The name itself is a portmanteau of Kruger (the man depicted on the obverse) and Rand, the South African unit of currency. Krugerrands are a popular way to invest in gold. By 1980 the Krugerrand accounted for 90% of the gold coin market. That year South Africa introduced three smaller coins with a half-ounce, quarter ounce, and tenth ounce of gold.

Always close, Always fresh, Always convenient.

That’s why I love my SPAR!

The success of the Krugerrand led to many other gold-producing nations minting their own bullion coins, such as the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf in 1979, the Australian Nugget in 1981, the American Gold Eagle in 1986 and the British Britannia coin.

Private mints have also attempted to capitalize off the popularity of the Krugerrand, minting gold and silver bullion rounds (the term coin denotes legal currency) in the style of the Krugerrand. The rounds often depict Paul Kruger and a springbok antelope, some even blatantly copying the same design as on the Krugerrands themselves, though the inscriptions are altered. These bullion rounds are not offered by the South African Mint or the Government of South Africa, and are therefore not official, have no legal tender value and cannot technically be considered coins.

The Krugerrand is 32.6 mm in diameter and 2.74 mm thick. The Krugerrand’s actual weight is 1.0909 troy ounces (33.93 g). It is minted from gold alloy that is 91.67% pure (22 karats), so the coin contains one troy ounce (31.1035 g) of gold.

The remaining 8.33% of the coin’s weight (2.826 g) is copper (an alloy known historically as crown gold which has long been used for English gold sovereigns), which gives the Krugerrand a more orange appearance than silver-alloyed gold coins.

Copper alloy coins are harder and more durable, so they can resist scratches and dents.

The South African Mint Company produces limited edition proof Krugerrands intended as collector’s items. These coins are priced above bullion value, although non-proof Krugerrands also have a premium above gold bullion value. They can be distinguished from the bullion Krugerrands by the number of serrations on the edge of the coin. Proof coins have 220 while bullion coins have 160.

As the only means to legally possessing gold bullion, the Krugerrand offers a unique way of holding your own gold. Krugerrands carry only a small premium over the value of their gold content.

As the gold price is quoted internationally in terms of troy ounces, the value of Krugerrands can easily be determined at any time.

As legal tender gold coins, Krugerrands can be bought from, or sold to thousands of gold dealing companies and their branches worldwide.

Krugerrands are hard enough to resist normal scratching and denting - an important, practical feature, as soft 24 carat coins and bars are more easily damaged and generally require protective packaging. Krugerrands are easy to transport and store.

ARTS AND CRAFTS No doubts about it – South Africans are a crafty bunch. The country’s people produce a remarkable range of arts and crafts, working from the pavements and markets of the big cities to deep rural enclaves, with every possible form of traditional artwork – and then some.In addition to the standard materials such as beads, grass, leather, fabric and clay, pieces are made using telephone wire, plastic bags, petrol cans and bottle tops – even food tin labels are used to create brightly coloured papier mache bowls. On sale on many a South African street corner are objects made of wire, ranging from representations of the globe to cars and motorcycles – which are capable of manipulated movement – to joke cellphones and working radios.

Shops, markets and collectives dealing in African craft are thriving, providing much-needed employment and income in communities such as Fugitive’s Drift in KwaZulu-Natal, which offers a huge variety of basketry, or the Northern Cape Schmidtsdrift community of displaced San people, who produce paintings that constitute an imaginative and highly coloured extension of ancient rock art. A high level of skill is brought to the production of work that has long been a part of African society, and has now found new commercial outlets. South African beadwork, once the insignia of tribal royalty alone, has today found a huge range of applications, from the creation of coverings for everything from bottles to matchboxes – and the reproduction of the red Aids ribbon in the form of small Zulu beadworks known as Zulu love letters.

Basketry and ceramics, of course, were long ago brought to a pitch of perfection in traditional South African society, and the outgrowths of these forms today grace gallery plinths as often as they find a place on suburban shelves.(To read more: http:// www.southafrica.info) The Arts and Crafts markets in Cape Town: Green Market Square, in the square that dissects Burg Street and between Longmarket and Shortmarket streets, Cape Town CBD, Monday to Saturday: 9:00 and 16:00.

OSTRICH LEATHER & MOHAIR Ostrich leather is the result of tanning skins taken from African ostriches farmed for their feathers, skin and meat. The leather is distinctive for its pattern of bumps or vacant quill follicles, ranged across a smooth field in varying densities. It requires an intricate, specialised and expensive production process making it costly as well as beautiful.

Although the first commercial farming began in South Africa in 1850, the industry collapsed after World War I and the drop in demand for the feathers for fashionable hats and military uniforms.

Other products were marketed, with each success battered by world events and droughts until now, when ostrich skin is globally available and seen as a luxury item in high-end demand. Leather came late in the story of ostrich farming but after a tannery was set up onsite, it went on to make an impact in European haute couture and in the U.S. for cowboy boots. Availability was artificially limited when ostrich leather was subject to a cartel monopoly through trade sanctions, and single export and distribution channels until the end of apartheid in 1993.

After that and other factors, the South African government began to export stock allowing other countries to have their own ranches. Although wider production resulted in competition and lower prices, Klein Karoo Group remains the leading global producer. Today the industry is driven mostly by the leather and the meat, which is exported to all parts of the world. South Africa produces over 60% of the world’s ostriches and also has a distinct quality edge in the leather tanning process. Eleven years ago, Charles and Melony Biggs were farming ostrich, sheep and goats in the Graaff Reinet area in the Karoo. At first they exported skins to people he had met in the USA, where he had previously farmed ostrich for 4 years. They learned a lot in that time abroad, one thing being what we in South Africa had to offer and show off to the world in terms of leadership in Ostrich and Mohair.

They started to seek for local manufacturers and work together with designers to present a classic collection that also presents a freshness and elegancy. In 2000, Karoo Classics opened its doors in Stellenbosch: “We had 30 handbags and six belts in stock, but 100% faith in the fantastic natural products made from ostrich leather and mohair”, says Charles. From the very beginning a policy of Proudly South Africa was adopted.

They spent months looking for and visiting factories all over South Africa. The criteria were: simply, high quality at a reasonable price. Today they have a wonderful group of suppliers, from big factories to family businesses and individuals.

In 2003, Karoo Classics opened in Cape Town and five years later in Franschhoek. Today they have the world’s largest selection of ostrich leather goods, carrying over 1000 handbags alone.

68 BARRACK STREET, CAPE TOWN Cape Town 41 Hello T: 021 461 9988

TOURISM NEWS HOSPITALITY SECTOR POISED FOR RECOVERY AND GROWTH Despite the stagnating economic climate, South Africa’s hospitality sector is poised for further strong growth in the next five years fuelled by a record number of inbound travellers into the African continent, according to a report issued by professional services firm PwC on 13 June.

Nikki Forster, PwC Leader of Hospitality and Gaming, says: “South Africa’s hotel industry is more positive about the outlook for the future of the industry after a difficult period marked by a combination of an oversupply of hotel rooms and expectations of growth in demand. “Hotels are expected to be the fastest-growing category over the next five years. As in 2012, we expect the demand for rooms to again grow faster than supply and for the overall occupancy rate to increase.”

PwC’s 3rd edition of the ‘South African hospitality outlook: 2013-2017’ projects that by the year 2017 the overall occupancy rate will increase to 55.6% Total room revenue is expected to reach R23.5 billion in 2017, a 9.2% compound annual increase from 2012.

Despite the recent economic uncertainty, there was a 9.7% increase in visitors to South Africa from Europe, while the number of North American visitors rose 13.9%. Most foreign visitors to South Africa (72.4%) in 2012 came from other countries in Africa and those visits rose 8.5%. More than 200,000 visitors came from China (132,327) and India (106,774) cumulatively.

On the other hand, domestic travel fell 8.5% in 2012 possibly reflecting a slower growing economy. In 2012 hotel room revenue increased by 11.4%, “We expect relatively little incremental growth in capacity during the next five years, as demand rises to fill the supply,” says Forster.

With just a few new hotels now opening and others being upgraded, the number of rooms is expected to increase by 1.2% in 2013 and to then grow at rates averaging just below 1% annually through to 2017.

By 2017 there are projected to be 63,000 hotel rooms available. Hotel room revenue is expected to expand to R16.8 billion in 2017, up 9.5% compounded annually from R10.7 billion in 2012.

The increase in foreign overnight visitors benefited five-star hotels more than any other sector with room revenue increasing by 18.7% to R1.2 billion.

“We expect five-star hotels to continue to benefit more than three- and four-star hotels from the increase in foreign tourism during the next five years, the result of continued growth in business travel and an increase in tourism from other BRIC countries,” says Forster.

The growth in visitors contributed to an increase in occupancy rates for hotels in 2012, the first gain since 2007, and prospects for continued growth in people travelling suggest further gains in occupancy rates. The average hotel occupancy rate is projected to increase to 68.7% in 2017 from 56.5% in 2012.

Overall spending on rooms in all categories rose 13.4% in 2012 to R15.2 billion, reflecting an increase in stay unit nights and a 5.3% rise in the

Hello Cape Town 42

average room rate. Stay unit nights were up 7.7% in 2012, the largest gain during the past five years.

With room availability up only 1.5%, the average occupancy rate increased to 50.2%, the highest average since 2008. Spending is projected to rise to an additional 11% in 2013, boosted by a 5.7% increase in stay unit nights and a 5.2% escalation in the average room rate. The average room will cost R936 in 2017, up 5.4% on a compound annual basis from R718 in 2012, states the report.

Forster concludes: “Five years on from the financial crisis, there are signs that the world economic environment is beginning to stabilise in certain parts of the world and this is evidenced by the increase in foreign visitors to South Africa “While the industry within South Africa should be cautious before embarking on further hotel developments, South Africa with its wide range of hospitality offerings, attractions and history, is well placed to take advantage of the improving economic conditions in both the business and leisure tourism markets.”

SA - the Good News

SA CITIES TO GET OWN DOMAIN NAMES In the near future, Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban may have their own top level domain names on the internet, which could spark innovative ways of promoting business and tourism in South Africa’s main centres.

The suffixes dotJoburg, dotCapetown and dotDurban will be launched later this year.

General Manager of the ZA Domain Name Authority (Zadna), VikaMpisane, said the suffixes are available to any entity, even multinational companies, who wish to be associated with these cities. “It will be open to anybody who identifies with them.”

Zadna, which is the regulator for South Africa’s internet namespace, will launch the domains by October. However, Mpisane said registration will initially not be open to the public. Instead municipalities of these cities will be given first preference when choosing names before the public are invited to register.

Zadna held a workshop in Johannesburg last month where they brought together representatives from all three cities. It was here that delegates were asked to draw up a list of names they would like to use.

Zadna also used the gathering to explain the plans for the launch, and operation of the three domains, and to start a consultative process that will allow the municipalities to influence policy.

Mpisane said the benefits of a city having its own domain is that it helps build the brand and allows the municipalities to house all their services within a name. “If you have ‘rates dotJoburg’, the user

will know that it is safe.”

According to Johannesburg Tourism Company’s communications manager, Laura Vercueil, the domain name would help promote the city as a gateway and hub of Africa. She added that the city is more than just about money and business.

“DotJoburg will promote a sense of place. For us it is about making people aware of how vibrant the city is.”

After the municipalities have been registered, the public will be able to purchase names on a first-come-first-serve basis. Organisations and individuals outside of the government can expect to apply for their domain names early next year. They are required to pay R150 (US$15) a year for their website to be hosted.

Names evaluated before approved For the suffixes to be approved, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann) has to evaluate them. Icann, which governs the global domain name market, held a prioritisation draw in Los Angeles in December last year. Applications were evaluated in the order they were chosen.

Durban’s suffix drew position 303 and Johannesburg followed at number 566. Both names have been evaluated and are going through the approval process. Cape Town, which came in at 761, is still waiting to be evaluated.

Icann currently has more than 2 000 applications for top level domains in their system, all of which brought in $352-million (R3.5-billion) in application fees.

There are two evaluation processes that domains have to undergo before being approved. Icann first assesses the stability of the infrastructure that will run the domain. Thereafter, it checks if the domain names can be sustained financially. Once the names have been evaluated and approved, ZA Central Registry (ZACR), which is the registry for South Africa’s second level domains, has to enlist the three domain names for $185 000 (R1.8-million) each. Thereafter, ZACR is required to pay a $25 000 (R255 000) annual licence fee per domain.

Mpisane said Zadna would be running the names on the same infrastructure that is used for the co.za domain. He added that ZACR will pay the annual licence fee until the organisation has acquired enough clients to fund it. Zadna is looking to grow its client list in the next two years and become selffunding by then.

Zadna will first market the domain names to more than 300 internet service providers on the ZACR registry. Mpisane said they would offer ISPs incentives for selling the names. Thereafter, they will make the public aware of the domains through workshops and roadshows. Zadna is unable to protect the domain names from users who wish to utilise it for unsavoury purposes. “We are only required to look at domain name issues, not how users use them.”

But companies and individuals whose trademarked names are being abused may use Zadna’s alternate dispute process to settle legal matters, concluded Mpisane.
