The V&A Waterfront’s Cape Wheel is reopening after a seven-month break to relocate it to a new location set to give passengers memorable new views of the city and Granger Bay, from stunning sunrises to sunsets and night-time and more. Easily one of the Waterfront’s most recognisable attractions, the Cape Wheel, which came into operation in 2008, has delighted international and local visitors, young and old alike, at its previous location between the Victoria Wharf Shopping Centre and the Union Castle Square in front of the kid’s playground and food court. Now located at the V&A’s Breakwater Boulevard overlooking the waters of Granger Bay, the wheel transforms Breakwater Boulevard into a new visitor attraction, with special elevated views across Granger Bay on one side, Robben Island in the distance, views of Table Mountain on the other end, as well as sights of Signal Hill and the Cape Town Stadium. Riders will, from 40m up, have below them the sight of commercial shipping traffic with giant container ships coming and going, large cruise and charter boats heading in and out of the harbour, kayakers accompanied by schools of dolphins as well as the possibility of spotting the occasional whales that visit the bay from time to time.

Pretoria - A sole African Transformation Movement councillor, Mncedi Ndzwanana, is the new Speaker of council in the City of Tshwane. Ndzwanana won by 105 votes during a secret ballot election on Monday night after he received the majority of the votes from the EFF and ANC. He contested for the position against ActionSA’s Kholofelo Morodi, who only got 37 votes. ActionSA councillor Morodi was fielded as candidate for the Speaker’s position by the multiparty coalition block, which include the DA, her party, FF+, ACDP, and IFP. All in all 211 councillors cast their ballots and at least 69 votes belonging to the DA were spoiled. DA caucus leader Cilliers Brink expressed disappointment after the Independent Electoral Commission of SA (IEC), which oversaw the voting process, discarded the party’s votes “as a result of the mark that was not of a secrecy ballot”. Asked how the DA councillors voted, Brink told journalists that “we made a marking of our own” on the ballot papers when voting. “So, once this stuff is reviewed you will clearly see where the marking is, next to the candidate of ActionSA. It was for transparency purposes,” he said.
