It was a pleasure meeting with South Africa's Ambassador to the United States, H.E. Mr Roelf Meyer, following our September visit to Washington, D.C.
We discussed trade, investment, tourism and innovation, all areas where the United States is a key partner for the Western Cape, and how stronger ties can drive economic growth in our province and across South Africa.
The Western Cape Government will keep building international partnerships that attract investment and create jobs for our residents.

How cricket is trying to be a vehicle for change, helping keep kids away from social evils of gangs, guns and drugs in one of SA’s poorest towns. #SAvAUS

As a lot of people have told me (and thanks for the feedback), the beer would be more expensive here at Newlands than at St George's Park.
BUT, R50 is $4.27AUD and I paid $10.50AUD (R122.92) for a 375ml can of Session Ale or Japanese Mid Lager from local brewer Running With Thieves (South Fremantle, WA) at the WACA Ground (which are still great drops btw) a couple of weeks, so still so so cheap!!
A much better balance between the wallet and liver here🍻
