Video: Vindaba 2012 – A real cork popper in Cape Town
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.

If there is one thing locals and visitors to Cape Town love, it is wine, and boy, did they show their love of it at the inaugural Vindaba expo at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) on Thursday September 27, 2012.
Plenty of wine-loving fanatics flocked to the CTICC for this event, held on World Tourism Day, to be educated and entertained by the Cape Winelands’ bounty. Vindaba, the brainchild of Susannah Holz, aims to dispel preconceived notions that wine appreciation is for the elite only.
Exhibitors included Spier Wine Farm, Solms Delta, Rhebokskloof, West Coast Tourism, Stellenbosch Wine Route, Wellington Wine Route and Franschhoek Wine Valley.
We chatted to some of the exhibitors about their Vindaba experience and why they #LoveCapeTown:
