This article was inspired by this picture, ikasi is really changing, talk about bringing the ‘burbs to elokshini.
http://www.newscafe.co.zaA colleague mentioned the other day what a killer time he had the other weekend at CAPPELLO’s in Soweto, I was like what, where you there? It so happened that, that weekend I went past a CAPPELLO’s in Kliptown, seeing the many cars that were parked outside I was damn sure ukuthi the place was packed and beziwa mo ngaphakathi. Maara since me and my boys were going to enye indawo we resisted the urge to pop in & told ourselves we will pay the place a visit in the not too distant future. My colleague let me know that the Cappellos that he was at was the one eseJabulani Mall and I was like WTF, kanti ziyi 2 ezindawo eSoweto, I was amazed.

Then I thought let me share this info with my fellow bloggers and find out if abantu are feeling the vibe yaselokshin, r they hanging out there, doing shopping ekasi since kunemalls like your Jabulani and Maponya Mall? I went to the Maponya Mall, I think, about two weeks after it opened. I was damn impressed with the shops ezikhona phaya like ooFabiani, Kurt Geiger and others. The only other place I saw that shop (Fabiani) kuse Cape Town, eWaterfront, I cant remember if eCavendish ikhona na. The mall even has its own website, check out the info….

I remember the other day, wanting to go to THE MANSION, GODFREY MOLOI’s house for Oskido and Denis Ferrer’s PARTY but had no idea where the place was and I ended up not going, I am sure if I made a few calls eventually I would have found the place, but with my expensive habit decided to save the cash. I would like to ASK fellow bloggers to share their experiences (Other Places to Hang out) and possibly include details of how to get there and we could use this place as a reference.
There was once a site, which I used to visit regularly but I have since noticed it has not been updated in a long time. If you happen to know the owner, maybe it would be a good idea to let him know he needs to revive it.
http://www.sowetorocks.co.zaMe needs to get me a house elokshin, before the prices rocket sky high, since I cannot afford suburban living, akukho niks that u get kwisuburbs that you cant get ekasi and more.
The places that have websites also have maps to help you get to them. If you happen to have a car with a GPS (or possess a portable one) hopefully these places are loaded on the maps.
You can also fone the places to reserve your preferred table.
