Italian Mafia Boss And 300 Others Arrested – The wiretap evidence included scenes straight out of The Godfather. After months of clandestine recording, Italian police launched a predawn raid Tuesday, July 13, snatching up more than 300 alleged members of the powerful ‘Ndrangheta criminal organization, including top bosses, businessmen and corrupt civil servants. Hmm, I […]

Remember the “alleged” tale of the Grand Daddy Valet who stole a customer vehicle and rolled it 70 kilometres away in Blue Downs? The Grand Daddy Hotel left a comment on that story. Let’s enjoy it with our morning coffee: A response to this post from the Grand Daddy: It is regrettably true that this […]
“Taf” from Sketchbooktrails contacted me about doing an oil painting of yours truly. I had never had an “oil” done of me and was more than flattered by the gesture – especially since she said she was also doing one of Goldfish (The Blonde and Baby Jesus) “Sure thing,” I told her. “Do I have […]
Just when you though they couldn’t push it any further – Nando’s take ambiguity to the next level, offering “free coke” to the South Americans. Given South America’s propensity for making and selling cocaine to the rest of the world, one might think Nando’s are giving away the odd gram with their chicken burgers. Apparently […]
I bet you were wondering what happened to “the Morkels lady?” Well I can’t answer you that, but I can tell you where you can keep an eye on her. And it’s the same place that you can check a whole bunch of ads from the 80’s, showcasing everything from the old Joko (with Jeremy […]
All protocol was relaxed as we granted one photographer and virtual-tour expert (Panascape) unprecedented access to my suite at the Cape Royale hotel. As it is my primary residence, you can imagine what intimate never-seen-before details were caught on camera. The virtual tour itself let’s you cruise around the Cape Royale hotel (spinning 360 degrees […]
I’ll just kickoff by saying that Ponds did not pay me for this. I swear to God. I found this moisturizer and I want you to know about it. I first used it when I stayed at The Fruit Farmer‘s house in Robertson last weekend for the Wacky Wine Weekend. His wife, Cate, uses it. […]
A lot of people have been hucking me for “the name of that online shirt company” I use. So I couldn’t think of a better way to show you, than with this announcement I received about their winter special. Those of you who understand what tailored shirts are all about will be quite aware of […]
You can only imagine the zone you can get into, listening to some vinyl, with a joint in one hand and your new iPad in the other – on the day that Google Maps goes live with “Google Street View” for Cape Town. My God, I have traipsed every square inch of this city, all […]
The FIFA 2010 World Cup™ kicks off this week and it is clear that soccer fever has hit Cape Town. With the sound of vuvuzela’s throughout the city and every second car dressed with flags and mirror socks, it’s easy to see that Cape Town is ready to welcome the world. Cape Town Tourism has […]
Well done to all of you for sending in such fabulous entries (like these and these) to the NoMU 2oceansvibe “Touch Me On My Poster” competition. Although we were completely blown away by the calibre of the entries, we could only pick 10 winners. [sad face] This was one of them: “A” for effort.. So […]
We don’t use the word “magic” enough. Our folks do – but we’ve kind of dropped it. Let’s make a pact to bring it back. “Hey chom, how was the fishing trip?” “Bloody magic, man!” Ok, so, another week has gone by, which means tomorrow morning (Friday) brings us another 2oceansvibe Radio show! Things are […]
First it was Green Market Square, and now it’s the V&A Waterfront. Yes, ladies and gents, we’re talking about free Wi-Fi. We recently ran a story on Skyrove’s offering of free Wi-Fi in Green Market Square, Cape Town. Things have developed ever so slightly.
While we wait for our winning lottery numbers to come in, it’s nice to know that you can still live the holiday on your own terms. Choose the place, choose the time, and live the holiday whenever it suits you! I received an update of the new 2oceansvibe Villas properties and I must say, they […]

Marriott Machinery has it core business in buying, restoring and reselling used machines. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be sexy! Derek Marriott and a few of his *cough* staff took us on a guided tour of their plant. Oh, it’s in Epping, Cape Town (no spice). I tell you what, if I was ever […]
I noticed a few of them driving around Cape town – you know, cars with the SA flag wrapped around their wing-mirrors. Every time I saw one, I wondered where I could get them from. Which was a little bit dof of me. I should have known that 2oceansvibe’s preferred promo company, Kika Promotions, would […]
What an incredible response we’ve had so far to the NoMU Touch Me On My Poster competition. A number of the 2oceansvibers out there managed to decipher the various clues we gave you and got themselves photographed with the poster in question! Well done, gang! Here are a few examples of what we have received […]
One good thing I can say about the SA iTunes shop, is that our favourite mobile payment application, AMMO, is finally available for everyone with an iPhone to download and dominate! Lose the wallet, buddy.. If you don’t know what I’m talking, then I strongly suggest you read the original AMMO article we posted. […]
True 2oceansvibers who are also following 2oceansvibe on Twitter, will know that we indulged in some pigeon for lunch the other day in Menerbes – South of France. It was my first time eating such a small bird (insert supermodel joke here) and I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Here we have our neighbours, […]

It’s basically the ultimate Camps Bay one-bedroom suite! The Cams Bay Terrace Suite Check it […]
See, we told you it was the era of the instanet. Mweb offers cheap uncapped ADSL, and all of a sudden businesses everywhere are freaking out, losing their heads in acts of reckless generosity as they bring South Africa up to speed with the global village. Like Skyrove, who’ve gone and hooked Capetonians up with […]
Last week we gifted you an article about those beer-can stickers that allow you to have a sundowner on the beach without getting arrested. Very cool. But not cool enough, for the serious beer-drinkers out there, it seems.. The more laddish lads out there will be enthused at the suggestion of this new beer aquapack […]
PopYaCollar Captures Another Snappy Dresser On The Streets of Cape Town Police Search Home Of Gizmodo Editor Over Lost iPhone 4G – Those of you who think this whole thing was a publicity stunt may want to revise that stance. It’s unlikely the police would play along with a intentional leaking of an iPhone and […]
I don’t know what’s inside them, and I don’t care to be quite honest. But I can tell you right now that these little cookies are the hottest little things on the street at the moment. Apparently they’re available at the Woodstock market. All I know is The Muse got a whole bunch of them […]
I’ve been struggling to keep quiet about this for quite some time now, as the excitement has been too much. After months of travel around Africa, resulting in an archive of thousands of never-seen-before photographs, one of South Africa’s top photographers and my friend, Andrew Verster-Cohen (VC), has finally released his African football book, entitled […]
I was really stoked when I found this pack of magic in the Big Blue shop in Kalk Bay this weekend. As some of you will be aware, drinking alcohol on Camps Bay beach and all other public beaches in Cape Town is prohibited. And whilst some of you have taken to making pre-mixed drinks […]
