Quote: Khayelitsha is, with 1.5 million inhabitants, the largest township in South Africa after Soweto. In the 1980s, all "legal" black people from existing townships were moved to a new township: Khayelitsha, which means "New Home."

Quote: Cape Point: where two oceans meet ~ the Atlantic and Indian Oceans crash on the fairest cape in the entire world.

Quote: I have done enough Third World travel to realize that the cost of one night at the welcoming Cape Grace Hotel is more than a person living in the fast-growing shantytowns on the other side of Table Mountain might make in a year.
