Cruise news: From R31,607* for 2 adults & 2 children sharing an outside cabin on SI007, the Sinfonia Christmas cruise from Durban to Port Louis.
Cape Philharmonic Orchestra Cruise
Sinfonia is Italian for Symphony so it's all very appropriate that passengers should be entertained with the sounds of the talented C.P.O musicians.
The Cape Philharmonic orchestra founded in 1914 will be showcasing their beautiful talent during the sail away party in the beginning of the cruise and again later during a spectacular show in the ship’s theatre. So not only will you receive the normal entertainment provided by the entertainment staff, but you will be spoiled with something extra... add the beautiful scenery of Walvis Bay to that and you have a dream vacation.

The Purple shall rule! As you fly high above, do you ever let your mind wander about the little houses below you, each with their own story to tell? If you've landed at O.R. Tambo from the south, you've probably passed over Reigerpark a suburb in Boksburg - the easiest way to identify it is by looking out for the circle (see photo) which is Stanbury Crescent (tip: sit on the starboard side of the plane).
Reigerpark - gansterland
“Reigerpark is seker die bekendste plek in Suid-Afrika. As daar oor gangsters geskryf word, is dit oor Reigerpark. Lat die Kaap lyk soos ‘n Sondagpiekniek. Al hierdie dinge wat jy sien, die airport robberies en daai, is Reigerpark. Ek meen, die gangsters van Reigerpark verskil van ander gangsters af. Hulle kom nie na jou toe en sê 'Ek wil jou skiet' nie. Hy skiet en kry klaar. Die tipe gangsters het ook verander. Voorheen was dit ‘n territorial ding, en hulle sou wag tot die ou tannies verbyloop voor hulle mekaar verder steek. Die polisie in Reigerpark het nie bullet-proof vests nie. Maar jy sien jou gangster, daar staan hy: bullet-proof vest. Issued by the SAP. Dis ‘n ander lewe." Kevin Ehrenreich
Translation: "Reigerpark is propably the most popular place in South Africa. When you read about gangsters, you read about Reigerpark. The gangsters in Reigerpark are different to other gangsters in South Africa, they don't tell you they will shoot you, they just pull out a gun and get it over and done with. In the past it was a territorial thing and they would wait for the old lady to cross the street before they continue to stab each other. The police in Reigerpark don't have bulletproof vests, but you can spot a gangster, there he is... bulletproof vest".
History of Reigerpark
Reigerpark was established as Stirtonville World War II, when a large number of people came to Johannesburg from the rural areas looking for work on the gold mines. Apartheid intervened with the natural order of things, and in 1963 the Indians were moved to Actonville, the Africans to Vosloorus and the coloureds were left to stay in Stirtonville, which had its name changed to Reigerpark
