In the Shadow of a Mountain
Nestled at the base of the African continent and under the shadow of one of the world’s oldest mountains, with a population average under 25 years of age, lies a gem to be discovered, story by story. This is Cape Town, known by the locals as the Mother City.
Welcome to one of the world’s most beautiful and biodiverse cities on the planet. Cape Town offers the tourist a vast variety of pleasures, from wine, food and music to scenic sunsets, ocean views and panoramic mountains. But it is the people together with the places that make this city what it is today.
Join us as we weave our way through the tapestry of tales, stories and myths that you may encounter as you bus, walk or drive under the shadow of Table Mountain, one of the modern 7 wonders of the world.
Your Recontour for this journey will be Bruce Wade, a professional speaker and author to the people who impact others. This collection of stories has been collected from archives, adapted from history and borrowed from the people who have come and gone before us and maybe from the people who will be here once we have gone. I invite you to read, enjoy and share these as much as you desire.
Come with me for a whirlwind tour of some of the local spots, stories and tales that make this city at the bottom of Africa what it is today.
Welcome to Cape Town. In Afrikaans, we would say ‘Welkom na Kaap Stad” or in isiXhosa ‘Wamkelekile’
