Given its fame, I was surprised that the focus of the park seems to be Cape Point rather than the Cape of Good Hope: the former has a restaurant, railway, museum etc. whereas the latter has been left wild and is marked only by a modest sign. In fact this tends to work to its advantage: it’s easier to imagine ships rounding the Cape centuries ...

In 1985, police decided to try to put a stop to people throwing stones at their vehicles as they patrolled the streets. They drove ...
