Cape Naturaliste

feeling. The lighting over in South Africa couldn’t compare to nothing I have even seen before. We jumped in a taxi to get to the hotel to drop off our luggage. My mother booked a 5-star hotel deep in Cape Town, and as we were driving towards the hotel. We were passing through Johannesburg and Cape Town. The country made me lose myself totally similar to a kid in Disney land. Being the 14-year old, I was a selfish little kid who got whatever he wanted in life. I wanted to proceed to the hotel swimming

On 1 June 1836, a 29 year old English naturalist arrived in Cape Town in pitch dark. Having travelled about 20 miles from Simon’s Bay, where his ship HMS Beagle had anchored the previous day, he struggled to find lodging until he managed to knock at a boarding house. Over the next two weeks, this young botanist was immensely impressed by its natural landscape. When Charles Darwin described Cape Town as “a pretty and singular … great inn, on the great highway to the east”, little would he have known

Introduction: The purpose of this practical assessment task is to inform students about the STEM crisis , the importance of STEM and how to create awareness of the current situation at hand. The current focus question of this practical assessment is how will the shortage of science skills and workers affect south Africa? I focused on where one can apply for further enrichment in science (eg: University); what the role of science is in day-to-day life; any economic uses; threats to the future of

One of the most important questions in my generation was “Can racial and economic justice be achieved without violence?” That is still a relevant question in today’s world as well. However, I am here to say yes; racial and economic justice can be achieved without violence. Racial and economic injustice occurred while I was in high religious order and we were able to stop these injustices without violence.

Since the adventure bug bit on his maiden 500kmPlus challenge in 2015, the 41-year-old Capetonian has been testing his mettle cross-country and fundraising for local charities. Willie started small – his words, not mine – when he ran, cycled and paddled a distance of 581km from Mossel Bay to Franschhoek. Funds raised on his first 500kmPlus adventure went to Tin Can Town and assisted impoverished communities in Blikkiesdorp. Next up was the 511km journey along rugged West Coast, which was in aid of

After a short flight from Durban, we arrived in Port Elizabeth, where we were to start the drive through the Garden Route to Cape Town, I once again reviewed our itinerary. The narratives I read about the Garden Route from our itinerary and other travel brochures, made my nomadic heart beat faster. The Garden Route was incredible. It stretches for less than 300 km, yet the range of topography, vegetation, wildlife is remarkable: indigenous temperature forest, pine plantations and ‘fynbos’ (thick

Costa Rica One inescapable fact every tourist will notice when visiting Coast Rica is the lush green rainforest, abundance of wild animals and unspoiled beaches. The hideous landscape is home to some of the most amazing animals in Central America such as jaguars and toucans. The warm turquoise waters are great for surfing even as you hike across strings of active volcanoes in the tropical paradise. The popular visitor attractions in Costa Rica include Nosara Beach in Nicoya Peninsula and the Arenal

Carlin originally reported on the South African transition for the Independent of London and is now world-renowned. He begins the book with

In Invictus Nelson Mandela displays many different leaderships theories in different ways throughout the film. He embodies the sense of self required of amazing leaders according to Chopra. Mandela also displays qualities described in the style and skill approaches described by Northouse (2012) through his actions as a leader.
