I’ve known about this for a number of years and have had a few of them over time. If you are a South African citizen and have proof of residence that you live in Cape Town, you are eligible for a Cape Town Green Card. It is not as expensive as the full blown Wild Card; it’s valid for a year and offers you 12 entries into some of Cape Town’s finest parks, including Cape Point.
I chose a beautiful sunny day to drive over Ou Kaapse Weg (OTM to the locals) and head for the Tokai arboretum….
Just after this sign, there is a security point, where you sign a form. A few hundred metres on, you’ll pass a farm on your right. Lazy looking horses stood sleepily under the trees…
Not far after this, you come across a very unassuming building that houses the sales office that sells the various cards.
I was the only car in the car park. Take with you proof of address, ID and they only need 1 photo….I had two…
Matthew sorted me out in no time, taking the cash…
And giving me the details of where I can use my card…
And quick quick, he zip-zipped my Green Card….I’m good to go for another year…
Spread the word….it’s such a great offer – and makes me feel even prouder to be Capetonian!
Proverbs 15:30
Bright eyes gladden the heart; Good news puts fat on the bones.
I certainly don’t need any more fat on the bones, but my heart is gladdened!
Keep the smile going!
God bless you!
In His Grip,
