There is a specific rhythmic soundtrack to a Saturday morning in the Deep South of Cape Town. It’s a blend of crashing Atlantic swells, the distant chatter of surfers wax-coating their boards, and the distinctive metallic rattle of the yellow Metrorail train as it snakes along the coast.

There is a very specific kind of itch that starts somewhere around Thursday afternoon in Cape Town. It’s that restless feeling that the shadow of Table Mountain, as magnificent as it is, is starting to feel a little too familiar. You start glancing at the clock, wondering if you can beat the N1 outbound traffic, […]
