We were honoured to host SAPS officers from the Free State today!

They are in Cape Town attending a management course at the SAPS Academy and stopped by for a cultural experience.

A marimba lesson turned into a powerful choir full of joy and true South African spirit! What a moment!

Thank you for your service to our country and our people, and for your beautiful energy! 🙏💙

Olive Schreiner - a voice that challenged the conventions of her time.
A writer, feminist and thinker, Schreiner used her words to question inequality, injustice and the limitations placed on women and society.

As we reflect on South Africa’s Long March to Freedom, her legacy reminds us that the journey towards equality is shaped not only by political leaders, but also by those who dare to imagine a different future.

Her words were part of the long conversation about freedom - and her legacy continues to speak to us today.
