March Theme Day: Graffiti or street mural

posted by Paul
So today we're all settled in our temporary home at Century City - kindly sponsored by our super-dooper estate agent, Jeanne-Pierre from Milieu Properties. In days to come we'll bring you photos from in and around the area, but today it's Theme Day.

Today's photo was taken in the city centre, on Darling Street just up the road from the Castle. The mural is of Nelson Mandela, Steve Biko, Cissie Gool and Imam Haron.

Take a look at our CTDP Extras Blog for more graffiti and street art around Cape Town.

Sorry for being late with today's post. Since our move we've had limited internet connectivity - and that which I do now have is also kindly sponsored by Milieu Properties. Jeanne-Piere, you're a star! :)

Wow, it's like a two demensional Mt. Rushmore of South African heros! Wonderful graphic image!
All the best during your move. . .its a big deal and takes SO much energy. Sounds like you have good helpers, though and will be settling down with minimal disruption fairly soon.

It's very nicely done!
Must have taken them a long time to draw such big faces on the big wall!


Read all your updates on Facebook about your moving. I remembered the one that said you were Homeless or something. haha...

All the best in the move and

That is a brilliant mural. And very inspirational. What's this about your having to move?

Thank-you everyone for the compliments w.r.t. the photo and wishes for our move.

Kim, it is kinda a mini Mt. Rushmore - I never though of it that way. :)

Edwin s, our house became just too small for us, so we're moving to a bigger place in April - about 10km away from our old house. For the next month we're in an awesome holiday apartment with beautiful views of Table Mountain as well as overlooking a dam which I believe is being kept as a bird reserve.
