This is rad.  The area is beautiful, plenty of talent has come from this region as well, it will be awesome to see it get some recognition.  I am trying to think of logistics and expense to the teams (hoping that does not stop teams from coming), it can't be much different than Abu Dhabi.

Great to see SX going to a new region imo. Look forward to the local reports from Msanzi.

I honestly have my my doubts about this event taking place in Cape Town  South Africa. We have heard bugger all about this and there is only one massive stadium in Cape Town which will be ridiculously expensive.

One of the most dangerous cities in the world.

Indeed, according to Wiki, homicide rate almost made the world top10 in 2022 (12th). Cape Town ranked between New Orleans (8th) and Baltimore (17th) to give US fans some reference.

Paul, with all due respect but you are misinformed. Cape Town is the safest city in probably the most of Africa. Yes, there are the no go places where the problems are. 

Like any city there is crime but Cape Town is damn good compared to other cities in SA.

Edit. DHL stadium is in one of the best areas in Cape Town...yeah, your car might get broken into but you ain't gonna get your neck slit.

Their tourism board should adopt your last sentence as their motto. "Come see lovely Cape Town, your car might get broken into but you ain't gonna get your neck slit!" lol

I give the current ownership/management of WSX credit, they seem to have a much more sustainable business model than the previous clown show.

Maybe Friese's mechanic will just break into the competition's rig, not slit their neck

I spent the best part of a year there. One of the most beautiful cities I’ve been to (and I’ve seen a lot) and I never once felt unsafe in my regular days. (I went to some notoriously bad areas in South Africa as part of the work I was doing)


I’d go back in a heartbeat.

Let’s hope it will coincide with one of my twice a year trip to the Mother City. 
Otherwise it would be a very long trip from Tzaneen / Limpopo
