So @StandardBankZA charges its clients R95 to print 3 month's worth of bank statements + get a stamp from the branch. That's 4 A4 pages. Please elaborate as to why this fee is so high? I have 2 accounts with SB and pay (many) bank fees. Time to switch to @FNBSA or @CapitecBankSA

@EWNTraffic @KFMza @CapeTalk Traffic Notice: big tree has just fallen down on M3 South bound just before Princess Anne turnoff after UCT. It's blocking both lanes, no way to pass.
The @CablewayCC is happening this week Saturday 6 April. They have set a R1.5 million fundraising target for local organisations Ons Plek, Paedspal, CoolPlay and Wilderness Search & Rescue.
Locals can watch participants hike up Table Mountain and descend on the Cableway car as many times as possible to raise funds for charity. bit.ly/2HT0Son

They let me loose in a kitchen... that's dangerous. Lucky I had a great partner to save the day. What a laugh we had. Watch this space when all will be revealed. #CablewayMilkTartDay

Working in Woodstock, Cape Town I am regularly astonished by the amount of rubbish and litter on the streets. This particular pile has been gathering Beach Road since December '18 and nothing has been done about it. Come on @CityofCT

Flashback to Wednesday as @Lourensford Estate unveiled the debut vintages of its elegant new flagships, the Chrysalis Red Blend 2015 and the Chrysalis White Blend 2015. Wow . . . #LourensfordChrysalis

It's with great sadness that we have to announce that Trompie passed away yesterday. Scans revealed that he had a genetic defect in the gut, which lead to a rupture. Trompie's vibrant personality was a delight to all on the farm. He will be greatly missed and always remembered

Sunday's hike up #DevilsPeak was breathtaking in its beauty and ascent. Fresh mountain water and 360° views of #CapeTown . . . let's go! Note - If you're keen to do the hike, be sure to do your research first as there are a few different routes up.
