This comes after a tourist was swindled out of 2 000 euros, almost R40 000, for an e-hailing vehicle drive from Cape Town International Airport to Cape Town central business district (CBD).

Between April and August, 63 children were murdered across the province — with gang violence blamed for most of the deaths.

But there is an ongoing court case, and I also have to respect that.” He added: “I have no hate towards Wadee-ah. She is the mother…

Fades “I have competed before in the competition and did not win anything, but I gained knowledge of what the judges are looking for and prepped myself very well.” For Shamieg, it’s not just about quick cuts and kwaai fades. For him, grooming the next generation of barbers is his next goal. He added: “My next goal is upskilling the young and upcoming barbers.
