Cape Town voted Best City in the World by top UK publication
More than 20 000 UK travellers cast their votes, placing Cape Town ahead of global heavyweights like Seville and Sydney.
It's the seventh time the city has claimed this coveted title, and the second time this year it has been crowned the world's best.
Back in January, Time Out kicked things off by naming Cape Town the Best City in the world.
Coincidence? Hot streak? We're just calling it Cape Town being Cape Town.
According to The Telegraph, it's easy to see why Cape Town keeps topping the list.
'Few places can match South Africa's most feted metropolis for photogenic power: the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront fringing the Atlantic, Table Mountain rearing as an epic backdrop, the land ebbing down to the beaches of Camps Bay and the flicked tail of the Cape of Good Hope.'
James Vos, Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Growth, says: 'This kind of recognition doesn't just happen. It's the result of serious graft, smart thinking, and a whole lot of local passion.
'From our neighbourhood entrepreneurs to the people welcoming visitors with a smile, Cape Town's tourism scene is powered by its people.
'Behind the scenes, our focused destination marketing and management efforts, led in partnership with Cape Town Tourism, ensure that our city's unique experiences are promoted to the world in a way that drives demand and delivers benefits for locals.
'Being named the best city in the world by The Telegraph readers is proof that our strategy is working, and we're going to keep raising the bar, because the world is watching.'
Briony Brookes, CMO of Cape Town Tourism, says this back-to-back recognition is something to celebrate.
'Being named the world's best city again isn't just about bragging rights… okay, maybe just a little,' says Brookes.
'More than anything, it's a celebration of what makes this place unforgettable: the people, the energy, the views, and the stories that connect us with visitors from around the world.
'Cape Town continues to outshine global destinations year after year, and locals have every reason to be proud of how the city mixes bold creativity, stunning nature, and a culture that's full of heart.'
Two global Best City titles in less than six months? Not too shabby. Cape Town is having more than a moment; it's having a movement.

The Sociable App is making in-person connections cool again
Sociable app co-founder, Jason van Dyk, delivers his keynote address at StartUp Club ZA Cape Town Showcase Image: Sociable In an age where digital fatigue is the norm and isolation a creeping epidemic, a South African-born app is striking a powerful counterbalance. The Sociable App, launched in Durban in late 2022, is quickly becoming the go-to platform for people craving real-world connection, community, and meaningful experiences, not just more screen time. From artists and entrepreneurs to students and fitness trainers, over 16,500 users across the country have embraced Sociable's premise: that being together should feel effortless. Whether it's hosting a micro-event or finding a spontaneous night out nearby, Sociable says it simplifies the way people meet, plan, and engage in real life. 'At a time when everyone is focusing on making life simpler, we aspired to build a platform that made life more meaningful,' says Jason van Dyk, founder of Sociable, told Fast Company. 'To use innovation, not to find new covert ways to sell a product, but instead to take the approach of adding back. Adding back adventure, adding back passion, adding back community,' he explained.

Next Stay Close ✕ Designed for Real Life, Not Likes Sociable's appeal lies in how it merges the convenience of tech with the authenticity of human connection. Users can effortlessly browse real-time events, host their gatherings with in-app customisation tools, and even build and manage their micro-communities, all without the bloated distractions of traditional social media. 'We've built the platform to be an ecosystem, not a transactional marketplace,' van Dyk noted. 'Every feature is created to make it easier to bring people together, from native access management to weather reports for your events.' The app's clean interface and map-based discovery feed help users find experiences by category or location. At the same time, hosts can coordinate multi-tier ticketing, RSVPs, and community messaging, all within a single platform. An Organic Movement Sociable's growth has been anything but accidental. Eschewing heavy ad spend, the team focused on grassroots partnerships with local creators, community leaders, and event organisers in cities like Durban, Cape Town, and Johannesburg. 'Sociable remains the only locally-created social connection platform with this kind of growth trajectory from inception to date,' van Dyk said. 'Our grassroots-first growth strategy is what allowed us to connect deeply with communities, not just grow vanity metrics.' This strategy has paid off. The app has hit number 7 on the South African App Store, boasts a 4.9-star rating, and enjoys strong uptake, particularly in Cape Town, where the company is headquartered. Gauteng is next in line for expansion. A Platform Rooted in Belonging Research shows that one in four young adults experiences persistent loneliness. While traditional social media platforms promised connection, many users feel more isolated than ever in the algorithmic noise. Sociable said it answers those frustrations head-on. 'We're seeing especially strong momentum among women-led and women-only communities,' van Dyk noted. 'It's incredibly rewarding to see how Sociable is being used as a tool for empowerment and safe community building in those spaces.' The app's features reflect this human-first approach, focusing on autonomy, safety, and inclusivity, values rarely prioritised by global tech giants. What's Next? Behind the scenes, Sociable is working on a new, still-unannounced feature that van Dyk claimed 'will completely change how communities are supported.' Though tight-lipped on the details, he hinted at a major shift in how digital tools can support the intention economy, where users don't just scroll, they engage with purpose. While the company remains private and cautious about financials, van Dyk confirmed that Sociable is open to strategic partnerships and mission-aligned investment as it scales. 'We are always looking for new ways to align and partner with people who share our vision, whether that's through operations, investment, or collaborative innovation,' he said. 'If someone sees the trend toward in-person connection and wants to build the intention economy, we'd love to see how we could work together.' Looking ahead, the team has global ambitions. 'The need for community is not isolated to one city, country or continent. It's a foundational human desire,' van Dyk said. 'In five years, we hope to bring Sociable to the global stage, and to be leading the market swing back to human-centric innovation.' BUSINESS REPORT

Astronomer CEO resigns after viral Coldplay 'kiss cam' incident
Andy Byron, the CEO of New York-based tech firm Astronomer, has resigned after he was spotted embracing a colleague at a Coldplay concert, the company confirmed in a statement on Saturday. The video, which quickly went viral earlier this week, captured Byron and Kristin Cabot, Astronomer's Chief People Officer, embracing on the 'kiss cam' at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The pair ducked out of view after appearing on the screen, fueling speculation across social media platforms. Astronomer's board of directors has accepted Byron's resignation and announced that a search is underway for a permanent replacement. In the interim, Pete DeJoy, the company's co-founder and Chief Product Officer, will assume the role of CEO. In a LinkedIn post earlier this week, Astronomer addressed the incident directly, denying that Byron had issued any public statement and dismissing reports suggesting otherwise. The company also clarified the misidentification of a third individual seen in the video, who had been mistakenly linked to the situation online. 'As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding,' the company said in a follow-up statement on Saturday. 'Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.' Byron's LinkedIn profile has since been deactivated, and his name has been removed from Astronomer's official leadership page, where DeJoy is now listed as CEO. However, Byron is still listed as a board member on the company's website as of Saturday. Founded in 2018, Astronomer specialises in data operations and solutions for artificial intelligence infrastructure. While the company acknowledged that its visibility has 'changed overnight' due to the incident, it reiterated its focus remains on solving complex data challenges.

Surfers' dream — this is what makes Jeffreys Bay one of the best surf spots in the world
The quaint town in the Eastern Cape has a reputation that extends far beyond South Africa. Jeffreys Bay is a quaint little town about an hour's drive east of Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape. For 11 months of the year it's a quiet, picturesque stopover when travelling to the bigger cities in the province. But in July, Da Gama Road – the main street in the town – fills with bumper-to-bumper traffic as tourists from around the globe stream to Supertubes at Dolphin Beach, where a huge wooden deck provides a stunning view of the waves below. Surfers from all over the world are found below, trying to catch the crest of the nearly perfect waves as the World Surf League (WSL) is in town for the Corona Cero Open J-Bay, which has made a welcome return. This leg of the WSL was cancelled last year because it clashed with the Olympic Games. Speak to one of the world-renowned surfers fighting for a top-five spot on the WSL rankings and they all gush about how much they enjoy surfing in Jeffreys Bay. 'Jeffreys Bay is just one of those iconic locations that everyone wants to see every year on tour,' said South African surfer and 2024 Olympian Matthew McGillivray. But what makes the waves any different from those found close to the shores of any other beach in the world? The answer most given is the right-hand point break. Most of the popular surf spots in the world, including the other WSL tour spots, break on the left, favouring goofy surfers. This point break also stretches across for long distances, extending several hundred metres over Supertubes. 'The swell comes from the south and it breaks towards the right-hand side,' said Cheron Kraak, who is part of the surfing fabric in Jeffreys Bay. 'There are many right-hand waves around the world. But if you look at the shape of the bay, the wave, when it's big you can ride from here all the way down to a kilometre or so, which is completely unique in the world.' Prestigious spot The high wooden deck at Supertubes also provides spectators with breathtaking views of the action in the ocean. The point break is relatively close, so fans can watch without binoculars. 'As far as surfing goes, it's one of the most core prestigious surf spots in the world,' South African surfing legend Jordy Smith said just before the start of the Corona Cero Open J-Bay. 'It's an extremely natural environment. It's like an amphitheatre. 'It's really easy viewing, so you get to feel the surfers when you see them riding waves. And that's not the case at many other waves around the world. A lot of the time they can be pretty far out, but here at J-Bay you see the lines coming, you see the guy paddling, riding the waves, and obviously they're immersed in nature. 'There's thousands of dolphins, there's whales, some years even sharks, so there's a lot of action, whether you're on the beach or in the water.' For the past few tours there has been little chance of these sea creatures disturbing any of the surfers because there have been designated animal watchers deeper in the ocean, who alert staff closer to the shore when to call the surfers in at the possibility that the water could become dangerous. This was initiated after the 2015 competition, when Australian surfer Mick Fanning was attacked by a great white shark at the final of the J-Bay Open. He survived by punching the shark. Fanning and his final opponent, Aussie compatriot Julian Wilson, decided not to finish the final and split the victory – the only time this has happened in J-Bay. Fanning won in 2014 and 2016. The official magazine for this year's nine-day surf event has the winners listed in chronological order. The winner of 2015, according to the mag? The shark. A changing town McGillivray was born in Gqeberha and moved to Jeffreys Bay a few years ago to have regular access to one of the best beaches in the world. Smith, originally from Durban, has also made the small town his home for a period. But Jeffreys Bay wasn't always centred on surfing. 'Originally, it was a really quiet little fishing town with holiday houses for Afrikaans farmers,' said Kraak, who moved to Jeffreys Bay in the late 1970s from Johannesburg. 'And of course, once the surfers came to town, it was a shock. It was like aliens [had arrived].' Kraak saw the explosion of surfing in the town and was part of making it more accessible. She started the surfing brand Country Feeling in the early 1980s, and the original store is still on Da Gama Road. 'It was a very gradual process,' she said, 'but then people came to live here. Electricians, plumbers… Obviously there was nowhere for them to work so they started their own little businesses. 'Also, in those days, we couldn't find a place to rent – nobody would rent to the surfers. So, you found people who came here wanted to stay here. They then bought pieces of land, which were incredibly cheap, and built little houses. And it grew because people want to be here. Surfers want to be here. 'I mean, it's a dream of every guy in the world to live here.' For a few days in July, Jeffreys Bay is akin to a bustling city, but despite the drastic changes it has undergone over the past few decades and the influx of people, it still has its charm as a small town – which just happens to be one of the best surf spots in the world.
