The Whale Crier of Hermanus – Bank Like a Whale at Springbok Casino!
- Published: Friday, 23 October 2026
Hermanus has the only whale crier in the world. The town is on Walker Bay in the Western Cape, roughly 90 minutes southeast of Cape Town, and during whale season the crier walks its streets with a horn made of dried kelp.

We can't think of a finer job title anywhere in South Africa – and the post has been filled since 1992!

In 1930, The Star reported on the success of Joburg's automatic traffic lights – and even then, motorists knew them as robots. Nearly a century later, we still stop at robots every day, much to the amusement of visiting foreigners, yet few of us give a thought to why we call a traffic light by that name.

Human Rights Day on 21 March and the Day of Goodwill on 26 December both fall on a Saturday, so most of us celebrate them on a day we already have off! A holiday on a Sunday is observed on the Monday, but a Saturday holiday is simply lost. We were down to ten weekday holidays, and many okes were ready to write the year off with a few choice words…
Airlink's Flypast, the Boks & Risk in the Springbok Casino Lobby!
- Published: Thursday, 08 October 2026
South Africans are good at a lot of things... Like winning the rugby! As for flying planes, some would argue "not so much!" Airlink put that one to bed on the 29th of August, when two of their jets crossed the roof of DHL Stadium at the second test against New Zealand, and it's been trending since... Flightradar24 measured them at 41 to 46 feet above a 164-foot roof and 150 knots. The Boks held up their end later that day, beating the All Blacks 33-26!
