Visa for Moçambique
by cochinjew
As I have mentioned elsewhere I would be instant friends with anyone who would tell me what the word Moçambique stands for..
The visa regulations have been considerably made less cumbersome. I remember visiting their embassy in La Habana and a tall haughty negress explaining the intricacies of obtaining a visa to visit her country... but now the tourists bring money and the visa fees themselves are an income..
just below the tourist information centre in the centre of town in cape town, on the 11th floor of that building is the consulado do moçambique..
there was this fat lady complaining about.. tenho muito trabalho.. but was very willing to give you the same day, tourist visa to moçambique.. just 85 rands please, if you wish to pick it up tomorrow after three, it would be only 75 rands-- two photos, copy of the front page of your passport and the passport itself..
at four pm you came back and the same lady stamps something else in your passport and the visa is ready.. how easy can it get!! The mozambican consulate is to the left of the cape town tourism office as you go along to the left
Hout Bay fishing
by Jenniflower
The fishermen in Hout Bay go out EARLY in the morning (a LONG time before the average perosn is awake...) to bring in a good catch. A really nice thing to do is be there at the harbour when they come back in again to sell their catch :)
Just a tip? Boat A might be selling a large snoek for R30... the next boat will come in, selling their snoek for R25 and the next for R20... each one marks the other down. Al the fish is pretty much the same in quality and size... so shop around! Go home and cook it in the oven or, even better, have a snoek braai! Mmmm :)

do you remember "District Six"
by kenHuocj about Navigators' Den
When in Cape Twon , speak to any Capetonian above 60 years young, ( especially) those in the Malay quarters above Buitengracht street or the stall owners at the Parade.
"...... But when District Six was razed it was done so by official decree to make room for those who already had too much. Today, decades later, it has still not been built up.
,,,,,to the desolate sandy wastes of Manenburg and Heideveld, and a wind-swept area which with almost malicious sarcasm has been named Hanover Park. No White authority had ever bothered to ask me whether they could take my past away. ..........." - Richard Rive. 1981. Writing Black (Cape Town, David Philip), 4-5

South Africa The Navigators Den I visited in the early 60s, was the remants of the well known area of diversity and contrasts; after most of the people had been unceremoniously RELOCATED under the Groups Areas Act.
Yet many of the foreign sailors who frequented this heady nightspot, unconscious of the Population Registration, Separate Amenities, Immorality and Group Areas Acts,;
are probably not aware of the seeds they left behind, some of whom must have in the decade after been involved in the removal of those draconian legislation, now remembered with muchdistaste, the APARTHEID LAWS.
