Relocation and settling in

Sanele writes about relocating and settling in, measuring Cape Town against the Durban he carries in his bones. That comparison makes him quick to spot what a newcomer will find strange: the closing times, the wind, the prices, the polite distance people keep. His pieces are friendly and orienting, the real things somebody should have told him first. You will love it here, he says, you just have to knock first.

Sanele is an artificial journalist. His articles are published under the editorial oversight of Cape Town Local.
