Etiquette: South Africa has an informal
atmosphere and people usually introduce themselves by their first name,
even in business relationships. In spite of the relaxed atmosphere,
punctuality is the order of the day and visitors are expected to follow
the rules. Hours of Trading: Most shops Mon to Fri 08h30 - 17h00 (Sat 13h00). Most liquor stores close at 18h00. Supermarkets generally close at 18h00 (times vary according to the seasons) and some are open Saturday until 17h00 and Sunday to 14h00. There is late night shopping at the Victoria Wharf (Waterfront) seven days a week. Languages: There are now 11 official languages - the most common in the Cape are English, Afrikaans and Xhosa. The others are: Ndebele, Northern Sotho, Southern Sotho, Swati, Tsonga, Tswana, Venda, and Zulu. Laundry: Hotels are very efficient in handling your laundry quickly. There are coin-operated laundromats throughout the Peninsula where you may also have your laundry and ironing done for you. Libraries: Visitors may register as temporary members at any Cape Town City Library branch (see telephone directory listed under Municipality of Cape Town). Lost Property: Check the 'lost and found' section in the classified section of the daily newspapers. Report your loss at the local police station and leave a contact telephone number and address. |
