Holiday Shock For Cape?

[CathJ]

I saw this headline on a poster this morning on the way to work... I think it was for Die Burger, but I can't find anything on their website. Does anyone know what it might have been about?

 

[Albereth]

It might be about there being a reduced number of people doing the migration this year.

they planned to discontinue holidays forever in the motherless city realizing that Capetonians never work in any case?

"Holiday shock for Cape" - this is news? I thought all holidays in the Cape were a shock.

I would, but it's in Afrikaans and would take me hours to read

I got the impression it had something to do with public holidays, but hopefully I was just jumping to conclusions.

the holidays are shocking in cape town...

 

[Hosehead]

It means you Vaalies will go home with empty wallets.

 

[shadowfox]

Christmas holidays without Vaalies clogging up the roads would be a shock.

Anyways ... it probably has something to do with less than the normal amount of people coming down for December due to recession/petrol price etc .... dunno.

Possibly a reference to Kaapenaars on holiday in Mumbai, or those people on the bus which burnt out.

With petrol price reductions i wonder if its cheaper to fly + rent still. (tho technically its still safer to fly).

gah, you know cpt is small, you can notice the increase in volume of traffic especially when school holidays start just before.
