An international tourist couple who have been visiting The Mother City from Europe was left very sad and frustrated. Their vehicle was broken into on Strand Street in Cape Town’s CBD. The couple says that while visiting the Castle of Goodhope there was not enough parking space, so they opted to park along the road opposite the Cape Town Railway Station.

An undisclosed amount of valuable items were taken from the couple, as the unknown thieves broke their back window of their SUV and fled the scene. On Tiktok the very emotional and devastated female tourist can be heard talking about their ordeal.

Inspire Elsies Radio's Noel Ruiters reports that another tourist Sheila Harris, who's currently visiting Cape Town from Derbershire in England, says that regarding this incident she feels more should be done regarding public safety issues especially when it comes to tourism. 

 

Two pro-Palestinian protesters were denied access to the Canal Walk Shopping Centre. There are now calls for a boycott. A man and woman were carrying Palestinian flags and were denied access by a group of security guards on Saturday.

They clearly state that it is their right to publicly protest and this is supported by the South African constitution, and their right to protest wherever they deem necessary in a public space regardless of whether it is private property or not. Cape Union Mart denies the allegations and Canal Walk general manager Gavin Wood responds by saying that safety concerns have been identified.
