Away Tours, South Africa Personalised tours of Western Cape region of South Africa in a 6 seater air conditioned vehicle. Con But I also love my food, the fresher the better.

I (Andrea) started in the tourism industry as an adventure guide doing hiking, white water rafting tours. After traveling to the USA I came back to qualify as a Historical cultural guide for the Western Cape region of South Africa in 2003. I have since worked for numerous companies as a freelance guide taking on tours of various forms. Large coach groups of 800 where there were other guides workin

g with me in a team to individual people that hired their own car and used me as a step on guide. Being born and raised in the City of Cape Town in 1982 gives me the advantage to tell you how life has changed for us as a country during our transition out of Apartheid into a young democracy. I grew up in an area that was an island of white people in an "coulered" zoned neighborhood. (Coulered is the name given by South African government to people of mixed race during apartheid time, but the term is still used for classification.) This neighborhood was declared white because of the natural beauty, it is today a protected nature reserve. Growing up in a nature reserve I got an appreciation for our local fauna and flora. I have an interest in using local ingredients in my cooking. The Cape's rare vegetation has many edible and useful plants which can be grown in our gardens for cooking with. I hope to show people who come on my tours all that the Western Cape province has to offer in its scenery, flavours, history and culture. If you want to add some action/exercise into your holiday Im more than happy to oblige :)

INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Date: 24 February 2026

Cape Town International Airport confirms that power has been fully restored following a fire incident earlier today in the Northern Service Yard (International inner lane, landside).

The fire was reported at approximately 11h15 and was extinguished shortly thereafter. As a precaution, sections of the International Terminal affected by smoke were
evacuated. We can confirm that all passengers and staff were evacuated safely and
calmly.

Operational Update
While technical teams are currently stabilizing network and IT systems, services are progressively returning to normal. The current status is as follows:

• International Departures: Operations have resumed. However, due to the earlier
suspension, passengers should expect delays and schedule adjustments.
• International Arrivals: Some flights were diverted during the incident. Passengers
are urged to confirm arrival statuses directly with their airlines.
• Domestic Flights: Both arrivals and departures experienced minor disruptions due
to system outages. Delays may persist as operations stabilize.

encouraged to:

1. Check the ACSA App for real-time updates.
2. Contact your airline directly to confirm flight status before traveling to the airport.

We would like to thank our passengers, airline partners, and stakeholders for their
