Record traffic for Table Mountain Cableway: On foot and on the web
By Ingrid Sinclair // January 27, 2012
December 2011 will go down in the books as one of Table Mountain Cableway’s busiest months to date: 116 000 pairs of feet took to the summit of Cape Town’s beloved landmark.

Another day in Africa
By Julia Lloyd // December 14, 2011
It was one of those really shabby days at the office. Certainly it was with heavy heart that the pair of us found ourselves on the back of a Landie at sun-up, cavorting about in Sabie Sand. Ingrid Sinclair of Flow’s Cape Town Office, and I, had been given one of those briefs too ghastly to detail – produce the content for the website upgrade of a game lodge in the Sabie Sand. As a result we were forced to head north-east for three days to this rather stunning place called Cheetah Plains. Read more…

The 12 national museums that make up the Iziko Museums of Cape Town are spaces for cultural interaction, where knowledge is shared, stories told and experiences enjoyed.

Looking forward to the ride

Flow features in another WITSReview
By Linda Piegl // August 18, 2011

He became the wealthiest South African in May 2011, when his company listed on both the Hong Kong and London stock markets. Read more…
