• WOMEN’S HUMANITY ARTS FESTIVAL

    A full programme of dance and theatre performances, panel discussions and podcasts. Even the Women’s Humanity Walk organised by Woman Zone, which each year sees thousands of participants take to the streets from an iconic building and walking in unity to the Artscape piazza, will be a special virtual edition this year. It will take viewers on a complete tour of Cape Town’s city sites that relate particularly to women, past and present. Under the theme, “Freedom and Inclusivity for All Humanity”, this year’s festival will shine a spotlight firmly on South Africa’s continuing epidemic of gender-based violence.

  • Zip Zap Fund-Runners!

    Become a Fund-Runner & support Zip Zap Circus' Zappers programme with every kilometre you run!   Zip Zap Circus is a free social circus school in Cape Town, founded in 1992, that offers free programmes to children and youth. For 28 years, we have managed to keep our doors open for over 2000 children each year across 10 programmes, with funding being sourced from grants, donors and shows.   This year Covid-19 has stopped us in our tracks so we have had to think out of the box and find innovative and exciting ways to not only generate income but also share the joy of circus magic during these times. Our programmes have been suspended since early March, yet with a carefully planned phased-approach, we're getting ready to open our doors for our Zappers. We need your help to not only spread the circus magic, but to support our fundraising to keep our doors open. Jump on the virtual Cape Town Marathon bandwagon! Run your chosen distance (5km, 10km, 21.1km and 42.2km) any time between 6am and 1:30pm on Sunday 18 October and be a part of the Zip Zap Fund-Runners! You're welcome to start & finish your run at the Zip Zap Dome where free parking & toilet facilities will be available from 5:30am. We will have Zip Zap Motivation Stations along the Atlantic Seaboard (locations to be shared with confirmed Fund-Runners) which will provide snacks & beverages exclusively to Cape Town Fund-Runners to help keep the energy pumping and the magic alive! While there is no Zip Zap registration fee to sign up, runners will be required to commit to raising funds for Zip Zap by completing your participant form here on Quicket. Not only will this be the most rewarding run you've ever done, but all Cape Town...
