42.2km of magic in the Mother City! On 24th of May we cheered on some inspirational guests from who took on the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon, running through one of the most beautiful cities in the world🏅🌍

The marathon was just one part of the trip! We had so much more planned for our guests. More to come soon!🏃‍♀️‍➡️☀️

The internship is officially over, and what a journey it has been 🇿🇦🇸🇪

Having Cornelia as part of our team in South Africa has been an absolute pleasure. She brought so much energy and dedication to everything she did, and also found time to prepare for a half marathon that she finished just when she got back to Sweden with an amazing time 🏃‍♀️

We asked her a few questions about her internship experience and time in South Africa!

🦓 Describe your internship in 3 words!
- Hectic. Meaningful. Unforgettable.

🦓What will you miss most about South Africa?
- The people. The Propel team, their warmth, humor and genuine spirit. But also the people of Cape Town in general, there is an ease and openness to them that I really appreciate. And the ocean. Running along the Sea Point promenade with the Atlantic on one side and the mountains on the other.

🦓Proudest moment during your internship?
- Jogging through a township with a local running club alongside our guests. Feeling like I was part of a company that wants to take responsibility, give back, and connect with the people of the city they operate in.

🦓One thing you’ll always remember from the team?
- Their warmth and the way they look after each other. Watching people who are both deeply skilled at what they do and genuinely warm human beings at the same time has been inspiring.

Thank you, Cornelia, for this wonderful time with us. We wish you all the best for the future. Today, she’s graduating, and we couldn’t be prouder. Congratulations on this huge milestone 🎓👏

Cape Town has its own answer to the culinary scene in Copenhagen, where you find restaurants that’s been ranked the best in the world.
Restaurants where you don’t get an ordinary dinner, you get taken on a curated avant-garde food journey, that will leave you not only talking about the flavours afterwards, but also the art and experience.

The Wiggle Room on Bree Street is hidden behind blacked-out windows and seats only 12 people at a chef’s counter, where fine dining drops the formality. Chef Fish Amos lets the playlist shape the menu, and the menu changes with the music. Sommelier Lester Riffel pairs every course with a cocktail or a local wine he has chosen himself.

The atmosphere is relaxed and the dining experience is notch!

Last week, the Propel Africa team took a trip out to the Winelands for some property inspections, and it’s safe to say it wasn’t a hard day at the office.

Boschendal was one of the farms on our list, and we were treated to a full tour of the estate, including a walkthrough of their cottages and a visit to Camp Canoe to check out the glamping tents. Stylish, cozy, and with a setting that really is hard to beat. We wrapped things up with a well-earned lunch at the Deli Restaurant.

Getting out and experiencing the places we work with firsthand is a big part of how we operate at Propel. Not just to see the properties, but to connect with the people behind the experiences we help create.

Thanks so much and .canoe for having us. We loved every bit of it!

Today on the 10th of May, South Africa celebrates Mother’s Day!🌻

Did you know that Cape Town, the city we call home, is often referred to as ”The Mother City”? Long before it became the city it is today, Cape Town served as a vital waypoint for ships navigating the Spice Route between Europe and the East. Founded in 1652, it was the first city in South Africa and the place from which the nation took root, which is one explanation for its nickname.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there, from the one and only Mother City 🌇

Every year on May 1st, South Africa celebrates Workers’ Day!
A day to honour the people who keep our world moving.

The holiday has its roots in the late 1800s, when workers around the world stood up for fair wages, safer workplaces and reasonable working hours. In South Africa, the day means even more as labour movements played a key role in the fight against apartheid and the road to democracy. Since the first free elections in 1994, May 1st has been an official public holiday.

Wishing everyone a wonderful long weekend!

This morning we gathered at for a workshop led by .delic, exploring how to integrate new tools and technology into our daily workflow.

After the session we were treated to a tour of BlackBrick Gardens, a design-led aparthotel in central Cape Town. Beyond accommodation the building offers among other things: co-working spaces, a rooftop and a restaurant where we had a lovely meal after the workshop.

A big thank you to .delic for an inspiring session, and to the team at who kindly hosted us for the day. ☀️
