About This Program

The show “Cape Town” is a television programme presented as a single episode, set against the backdrop of South Africa’s coastal capital. It follows a simple, day‑to‑day format that lets viewers experience two very different corners of the city in a short span. The episode opens with Clive, the on‑screen host, preparing a midday meal for the waddling inhabitants of the city’s penguin rehabilitation centre. He serves lunch to the birds as they gather in the facility, giving the audience a glimpse of the routine care that the rescued penguins receive while they recover. After the feeding, Clive moves on to explore the city’s iconic Bo‑Kaap district. He walks among the neighbourhood’s candy‑coloured houses, noting the bright, pastel façades that line the steep streets. The segment showcases the distinctive architecture that has made Bo‑Kaap a recognised part of Cape Town’s cultural landscape. By linking the quiet, animal‑focused scene at the penguin centre with the lively, human‑filled streets of Bo‑Kaap, the episode paints a concise picture of the city’s varied character, all within a single, straightforward programme.
