For too many of us, the wonders of Africa are a mere second thought when it comes to travelling, with many opting for the likes of Asia or South America for those long-haul adventure trips. That said, the continent has begun to witness an increase in tourists from 2021 to 2022.

Of course, the aftermath of the pandemic has played a role in this gradual increase, with numbers not quite close to 2019 levels just yet, but it’s abundantly clear that Africa is a continent firmly on the rise.

Perhaps when we think of Africa, our first thoughts turn to South Africa – the ‘rainbow nation’ that gave the world such magnificent historical figures as Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Many of us will also remember the wonderful World Cup of 2010 which was the first on African soil.

But what about one of South Africa’s three capitals, Cape Town? What is there to do there, and should you add it to your assumedly endless bucket list of places to visit? Well, of course. Here’s why.

During a little charity shop trip to Chineham Shopping Centre, Basingstoke, on Friday afternoon, I spotted some bustling activity going on in the central area. I hadn’t visited the centre for a number of weeks so I wasn’t sure if it was an event or whether we had just missed a show but then as I got closer a banner started going up and I quickly realised it was some kind of protest.
