Fazielah’s top three weekday picks in Cape Town for September 3 to 6, 2012
Fazielah Williams
Fazielah Williams has lived in and loved her Mother City since birth. Having lived all over the Peninsula during her childhood, she now calls the picturesque City Bowl home and likes nothing more than watching the sun set over Table Bay from the window of her apartment.
A lover of the arts and proud Cape Town fanatic, Fazielah began her writing career by spending many hours as a child conjuring fantastical stories that featured independent heroines from faraway lands who saved the Prince instead. This Capetonian princess has enjoyed stints as a magical arts PRO and TV publicist before finding her calling as a travel writer.
When not waxing lyrical about the Fairest Cape’s most loved attractions and activities and embarking on unexpected adventures, Fazielah can usually be found taking in a show at one of the City’s fabulous theatres.
Cape Town, prepare to laugh until you cry with the 2012 Nando's Comedy Festival at the Artscape Theatre this week
Cape Town lovers, welcome to the first week of spring!
Typical of the lovely Mother City, she has a fresh, new line-up of revitalising activities to get you in the mood for the new season.
Join me at the following events this week to discover that the deeper you go into Cape Town, the more beautiful she gets:

Icons of the '80s
