25 and 26 October will see the return of competitive hillclimb racing to the Mother City when Speed Classic Cape Town roars to life against the stunning backdrop of Table Mountain.
Witness the challenging, twisting tarmac of Philip Kgosana Drive transform into a racetrack, and celebrate the heart of motoring heritage and modern performance.
Speed Classic Cape Town features an invitational field of rare, iconic, and high-performance machines. The weekend is split into two distinct, high-octane experiences: The Classic Car race on Saturday is a magnificent showcase of timeless engineering and timeless design, bringing some of the rarest motoring jewels out of private collections and onto the track. On Sunday, the King of the Mountain challenge shifts the focus to modern marvels, where cutting-edge supercars, GT3s, and speed machines battle the clock for the ultimate time trial glory.
Backed by Motorsport South Africa and the City of Cape Town, Speed Classic is designed to be a world-class, family-friendly event. Beyond the roar of the engines, attendees can enjoy a vibrant Race Village with local food vendors, lifestyle activations, open paddocks for up-close views of the vehicles, and premium VIP Hospitality options.
Speed Classic Cape Town is where motor racing’s past meets its electrifying future, and connoisseurs, speed enthusiasts and families can look forward to a unforgettable experience.

There’s something undeniably magical about the ritual of holiday coffee. The quiet hush of Christmas morning before the festivities begin. The clink of glasses on Christmas Eve as friends linger a little longer, revelling in the final stretch of the year. This season, Nespresso is elevating those moments with a vibrant, African-inspired festive range that turns every sip — morning or midnight — into something special.

December in South Africa is pure magic. From glittering city precincts to botanical gardens illuminated after dark, the festive season brings a sense of wonder that pulls families, couples, and holiday-makers into the glow. If you’re looking for the most spectacular Santa Villages, Christmas markets, and light displays to explore this month, here’s your definitive guide — spanning Joburg, Pretoria, Durban, and Cape Town.
There’s a certain kind of afternoon that cities like New York, Cape Town — and now Johannesburg — do so well: it begins with a lunch date, continues with a bottle of bubbly (or two), and somehow drifts into golden hour without anyone noticing. The Greenhouse Restaurant & Bar in Sandton, long celebrated as Joburg’s most atmospheric supper club after dark, is now capturing that same magic by day. And to celebrate the launch of its new daytime offering, we’re giving one lucky reader the chance to experience it firsthand with a Friendsmas Lunch for Four valued at R2,000.
