Green Point Stadium – Cape Town
I was sent these three beautiful pictures of the football stadium in Cape Town and the subject line of the email said: Cape Town: lights turned on last night.

Very nice, as stadiums go.
Die Kaap bly darem mooi. Ek het soveel goeie herinneringe aan byeenkomste by die ou stadium, ek hoop dat die nuwe een ook vir die mense baie aangename sporture gaan gee.
