Jozi's Birthday & the Gold Claims – Stake Yours at Springbok Casino!
- Published: Monday, 26 October 2026
Happy birthday, Johannesburg! The fourth of October 2026 was the city's 140th birthday, counted from a proclamation by President Paul Kruger in 1886. That's a lot of candles for a city that grew out of diggers' camps on the Witwatersrand, and the party is a crowded one, since Rosebank turns 130 and the Market Theatre turns 50 in 2026 as well. We'd happily bake all three cakes ourselves, and we'd make Joburg's cake the biggest by far!
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. A coded call is sounded on the horn each time whales are sighted, so visitors on the cliffs know exactly where to look. 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. Even the Dictionary of South African English lists robot as our own word for traffic lights, though the story behind it starts in a Czech theatre!
