    Dules is originally from Cameroon but is now living in Paris. He purchased the team followers package, so he has been travelling around the country supporting Cameroon. This photo was taken just before the Holland vs Cameroon game in Cape Town on the 24th June. Below are his answers to my questions:

    I watched a game at the Hyundai Fan Park (by the big wheel) and it was packed. They can accommodate 2000 people, so much of gees in one marquee, it was amazing. The screen is huge, it might even be too big because it switched off a couple of times during the game. Hopefully they…

    Things are really hotting up in the World Cup now that we have reached the knockout rounds. The less impressive teams have been kicked out and the matches have to have a result, no more of those boring draws. So every match is a contest between two good teams and one of them goes home…

    This group of Dutch supporters was actually the winners of the McDonalds competition on Holland. Their prize was to travel to SA and support Holland in their World Cup campaign. They did not know each other but have become friends on the trip. This photo was taken just before the Holland vs Cameroon game in…

    When overseas visitors tell me they want to eat at the best restaurant in Cape Town, I send them to Rust en Vrede (with locals I check their budget first). I know there will be much debate about which is the best restaurant in Cape Town, but for me it is Rust en Vrede. I…

    I remember reading about the Natale Labia Museum in the newspaper a while back. Unfortunately the story was not a positive one. The house in Muizenburg which was the original residence of Natale Labia, the first Italian ambassador to South Africa, had been donated to the state as a museum quite a few years before.…

    I’ve closed the poll in which I asked people whether or not they were looking forward to the World Cup. 81% of respondents said they are looking forward to the World Cup and 68% of those were confident that it would be good for the country. That leaves 32% who were looking forward to the…

    I have always found the V&A Waterfront website to be a bit boring and clunky. It was possible to find the information you needed, but it was not presented optimally and the site itself was uninspiring. I’m pleased to say that there has been a very obvious focus by the V&A on their online presence.…

    The Madame Zingara Theatre of Dreams is back! You can never believe all the rumours you hear, but I think most of us were not expecting to see her again. I, for one, am very pleased to see her return. I always believed the Tent of Dreams was an exciting addition to Cape Town. I…

    I drive down Buitengracht and onto the freeway everyday to get to work. Coming home one day I saw a giant wheel which I promise was not there in the morning. I later learned that it was fully constructed within a week, which is pretty impressive. Things don’t normally happen that fast around here. The…
