I'm attending a wedding in October. I was planning to share transport with some people staying near me, but they've cancelled due to a flight change. I don't know yet if anyone else at the wedding will be staying nearby, so I might end up doing these trips alone. I need to make a decision quickly, so any advice would be appreciated. I was going to rely on Ubers, and felt safer knowing I'd likely be sharing them with others. Alone, I'm less sure. The trips in question:

• Airport arrival at night, and departure in the early night for my return flight
• A late-night trip back to Sea Point after the wedding, from a wine estate over an hour northeast of the city

I know Uber is generally considered safe for tourists, but I've heard mixed things and don't want to take chances alone at night. Is my worry overblown, or are these reasonable concerns for a solo traveler?

Almost every single free to access green space in Cape Town accommodates dogs without leashes, so why do you selfish pricks also feel the need to walk your dogs off leash on the pavement? And if they’re not off leash, they’re on those comically long retractable leashes.

It’s bad enough that we have to share parks and hiking trails with badly behaved mutts. And now we have to share the pavement too.

So we've been looking at buying and have most of the western cape on our property24 search.

Between the useless agents that never respond and the houses that come up as under offer from the start we are almost ready to give up.

However, because we like the langeberg ridge area we thought we'd add surrounding areas too, like Windsor park/zoo park and have been to a few viewings.

There are some really nice pockets and streets in the surrounding areas, the people seem nice and the houses available are great value for money!

Now I know these areas are hardly the whole of kraaifontein and there are some really kak areas but doesnt every area have its bad? So why the bad rep?

Any locals to windsor park, zoo park, Bonnie Brae etc want to spill the beans on living there?

Hi, has anyone ever used the train from somerset west to cpt? How's the safety like especially during weekends and do they take card payments?

Hi everyone,

I'm an Indian citizen currently in Cape Town, South Africa, and I'm writing this from a police station.

Earlier today, I had to leave my home after a domestic violence incident. I am safe for the moment, but I have nowhere to go tonight, very little money, and no local support network.

I've tried everything I can think of. I contacted the police, but they haven't been able to provide any help. I also tried getting help from shelters, but they told me they don't have any space available tonight. I called the Indian Consulate's emergency number and office numbers as well, but I haven't been able to reach anyone, and the office is closed until Monday.

At this point, I'm stranded.

If anyone knows of:

A safe place where I could stay temporarily,

Emergency resources I may have missed,

Short-term paid work (I build websites and provide technical support),

Or any practical advice,

I would be incredibly grateful.

If anyone would like to verify my situation before offering help, I completely understand. Please feel free to send me a direct message.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I'm tired of seeing that awful Bootleggers Coffee logo all over Cape Town. Why do we need a million of them everywhere? Their coffee sucks too.

Hey! Im 30(F) looking to discover Capetown bit by bit. Im introverted. First time traveling out of my country. Here for my studies. Any ideas on safe solo activities I can do? Im a foodie, love dancing and live music, love the ocean and nature, not a great person with starting or maintaining a conversation. Any suggestions? Im open to new hobbies too.

Good afternoon, sorry if this question has been asked before. I am a tourist planning on visiting your beautiful city on August for one week. I noticed some Airbnb houses have backup generators whereas others do not.

One house that does not is very beautiful. If load shedding isn’t common, I would like to rent it. Your feedback is appreciated.

Howzit okes. I've been having a hankering for lekka samoosas. Had some recently and they were oily as hell. Usually the dodgy cafes have great ones. Haven't found them yet. Lemme know.

Hey guys! I‘ll be in Capetown for the first time next Sunday. I‘m a bit worried about safety. Do you have any good tips (beside the general awareness that one should have in every bigger city). I‘ll be staying at the waterfront for 3 nights and then go to Hermanus for a couple days. For travel I plan to take some Uber Black cars. Any advice is welcome! :)
