Tollie Parton’s larger-than-life personality and razor-sharp wit have made her one of the country’s most beloved drag queens — and she knows how to own a stage. But between sold-out shows and when the spotlight fades, she’s out chasing the magic of the Mother City.

Brought to life by Wynand Kotze, Tollie Parton continues to captivate audiences across the country. Her latest stand-up show, Hoofseun, is filled with hilarious and heartfelt stories, touching on everything from her school days as a ‘hoofseun’ to family dynamics and life within the Afrikaner community.

“Tollie Parton is a manifestation of every strong woman in my life: my grandmother, my mother, and that one drunk aunty at every wedding,” she explains.

Here is how Tollie Parton spends an ideal day in the city:

📍 Cat Heaven, Somerset West

📍 The Meeting Place, Stellenbosch

📍 Die Boer Restaurant Durbanville

Self-taught Cape Town artist Ismail Achmat has made a name for himself by capturing the city’s most recognisable landmarks through his distinctive lens. A proud Bo-Kaap local, he earned the nickname “Man on the Mountain” after turning heads while painting high up on Signal Hill. ⛰️

“I’ve always been drawn to the mountain and the ocean. That’s where my inspiration comes from,” he says.
Without formal training, he paints instinctively.

“I paint what I see… and what I feel,” he explains.

“Painting keeps me alive. Art is the greatest enhancer of public morale. It’s my way of inspiring others.”

Here’s how he spends his ideal day in Cape Town:

📍 Signal Hill
📍 Bo-Kaap
📍 Bloubergstrand
