This was the last game that South Africa had played in the 2010 world cup, even though we were already out of the contest, we were still glad to score the winning goal against France.

grand constance, 1762, 1775, constantia wyn, delaware ship wreck
The story behind this particular wine is quite interesting. The wine photographed here is a new wine launched by Groot Constantia, called "Grand Constance". Its inspiration is quite interesting: In a very recent excavation of the "severn" shipwreck off the American coast in Delaware, shards of a broken bottle were discovered, bearing the embossed name "Constantia Wyn". The ship sank between 1762 and 1775. The reason why this is so interesting, is because of the spelling of the word "wyn" on the bottle. The spelling is not the same as the Dutch spelling (wijn) or the german spelling (wein), the spelling is that of the modern AFRIKAANS. Which is significant, because this wine was first created over 200 years ago, long before Afrikaans overtook Dutch as the main language spoken in the Cape, casting doubt on exactly how old the Afrikaans language is.
Veld fires on Table Mountain are almost an annual affair in Cape Town. A picture that ended up on the front page of the Die Burger.
