R45 million dream home hits the market in Cape Town
R45 Million dream home hits the market in Cape Town, here's why everyone wants in.
The Mother City's luxury property boom shows no signs of slowing, with Camps Bay leading the charge.
Cape Town's Camps Bay continues to dominate headlines in South Africa's property market, and the latest listing proves why. A jaw-dropping family home, boasting architectural brilliance and uninterrupted ocean views, has just hit the market for just under R45 million.
According to Pam Golding Properties, the house spans three levels, features five en-suite bedrooms, and embraces seamless indoor-outdoor living, all wrapped in striking contemporary design.
Completed in 2022, the home offers a luxury lifestyle few can match. Soaring ceilings, vast open-plan lounges, and floor-to-ceiling glass sliders ensure that every corner makes the most of Camps Bay's iconic views—from the rugged peaks of the Twelve Apostles to the sparkling Atlantic coastline.
'This home is a masterpiece of design,' Pam Golding stated. 'Wall-to-wall glazing offers panoramic views, and every detail speaks to quality and luxury.'
With two swimming pools, a curated garden, and an astro turf lawn, the property was clearly built with entertainment in mind. High-end finishes include solar backup power, double glazing, electric blinds, and solid oak flooring. A garage that fits up to five vehicles—and additional covered parking—rounds off this luxury offering.
Camps Bay isn't just stunning—it's surging. Luxury property prices have jumped from R13.18 million to over R24.1 million since the start of the decade. Only Clifton and Bishopscourt rank higher in Cape Town's property hierarchy.
'Access to lifestyle amenities—including high-end restaurants, top-tier schools, and blue-flag beaches—drives property values upward,' said Claude McKirby, Co-Principal of Lew Geffen Sotheby's International Realty.
Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard has become a magnet for both South African and international buyers. Seeff Atlantic Seaboard's Ross Levin reported a record-breaking Q1 2025, with over R1.6 billion in high-end sales.
R45 million Camps Bay home sold to a South African buyer
R21 million purchase by a German investor
R33.75 million shares sale to a British buyer
Levin explained, 'High-net-worth buyers see Cape Town as a safe and appreciating store of wealth.'
International demand continues to soar, especially from cash buyers in the UK and Germany, while a steady stream of semi-urban migrants from Gauteng and KZN are trading big-city chaos for coastal luxury. Why Camps Bay remains the crown jewel
Beyond the beaches and the views, Camps Bay offers unmatched lifestyle appeal—vibrant nightlife, luxury spas, fine dining, and proximity to Cape Town's CBD. Its combination of exclusivity and natural beauty keeps demand high and prices climbing.
Whether you're buying to live, invest, or simply soak in the sunset, Camps Bay real estate is proving to be one of South Africa's most valuable assets.

Survival is not enough: Why SA's SMMEs must learn to let go of old habits
The author points to SweepSouth as a great example of good entrepreneurship. Long before scaling, they spent time in communities speaking to domestic workers and potential clients. In the first four months of this year alone, 482 South African businesses shut their doors. It's a haunting number not only for our economy but for the families in crisis and the employees out of work. What went wrong? The hard truth is that many of these businesses probably thought they were doing everything right. They had loyal customers. They survived hard times before. But yet, this time they didn't. One of the most dangerous things in business is the belief that you already know your customer, what worked before will work again and experience equals insight. Longevity isn't the same as relevance. Just because you've been in business for ten years doesn't mean you know what your customers need right now. Often, business owners mistake time served for insights gained. We assume that because we've been in business for years, we have nothing new to learn and we continue to do things the same way we always have. We live with a blind belief of our customers loyalty. Meanwhile, our customers' lives have shifted under our feet. Their habits, budgets, and priorities change frequently and too many businesses fail to notice until it's too late. Lessons from start-ups In the incubator space, early-stage entrepreneurs are coached to question everything, taught to assume nothing and to approach every idea with curiosity. They are guided to understand that just because they believe it, it doesn't mean it's true for their customer. Ironically, it's often these first-time founders with no track record who are more open to listening than seasoned business owners. They learn to ask critical questions about what is happening in their customers' world and how it has changed. They know that being sure is the first step in being wrong. SweepSouth is a great example. Long before scaling, they spent time in communities speaking to domestic workers and potential clients. They listened. They tweaked. They tested. That's what helped them succeed - not just a good app, but gaining a deep understanding of their customers' needs. Empathy: the missing ingredient The test small approach is an empathy-first approach. Many businesses think they know their customers because they've sold to them before. But selling and understanding are not the same thing. Real empathy means asking: What's changed in your customer's world? What are they struggling with? What are they frustrated by? And here's the uncomfortable part: empathy takes time. It takes curiosity. It takes stepping away from your agenda and genuinely engaging with your customer's life, not just their wallet. It's within this space where opportunity lives. It's where old products evolve into new services. It's where pivoting happens. It's where an entirely new business is born. Testing in the real world Of course, it is one thing to listen. It is another to act on what you hear. In design thinking, we talk about testing and prototyping – fancy words for trying things out in the real world. It is about taking an idea, even a half-thought-through concept, and bravely sharing that with your customer. Not in a focus group, but in real life, where wallets open and close, and where value is either obvious or absent. Even big players do this. Nedbank redesigned its home loan process after learning that paperwork was a major pain point. They tested solutions inside their app, made tweaks based on feedback shared directly by their customers, and ultimately delivered something more useful to customers, all without risking a massive rollout. The courage to change The small businesses that are thriving today are not the ones with the flashy marketing or slickest tech. They are the curious. They ask the questions, they challenge their assumptions and they stay humble throughout. They don't want the ground to crumble; they change because they are paying attention. Perhaps that is the swift needed for South Africa's small business culture. We are brilliant at hustling. We are resourceful and always make a plan. But we forget to question ourselves. We treat change like it is a crisis instead of a habit and necessity. The world doesn't stand still, and neither should SMME businesses. Customer needs evolve, the markets shift and new competitors appear. The businesses that are set to thrive are the ones that stay curious and have teams that are continuously tweaking their services and models, always learning from their customers, and most importantly, always listening.

South Africans say YES to DStv sports packages
South Africans are fully supporting Multichoice's contemplation of offering a sports-only package for DStv subscribers. The satellite television company is also toying with the idea of unbundling SuperSport from its pay-TV platform. In recent months, the company has taken a massive knock in revenue loss after losing hundreds of thousands in subscriptions. According to social media users, this follows the company's tone-deaf approach to affordability, diversity, and demands. Earlier this month, Multichoice Group CEO Calvo Mawela stated that the company would investigate whether unbundling SuperSport from DStv and launching a sports-only package would be a feasible option for its business model. He said at the time: 'We've accelerated that project in terms of getting us to finalise which direction we're going to take in this financial year. But yes, we are considering all options as part of a broader product offering going forward'. The investigation will conclude at the end of the current financial year-end in March 2026. Broadcaster Gareth Cliff polled his followers to see if they would support the move to a sports-only tailored DStv package or simply a SuperSport option. An overwhelming 94% of voters responded positively. Here's what a few had to say… @renierferreira: 'PAY PER CHANNEL ONLY! People don't want DStv 'bundles'. I'll pay R99 pm just for SuperSport 1 on ONE device.' @WTFSA13: 'R350 for all sports channels, and I am in' @SwartNatalie: 'Yes, then we can actually afford to watch sport again!' Currently, the SuperSport group of channels is offered on DStv's Premium package – it's most expensive – which currently costs R949. For many sports enthusiasts, 'off season' means pausing their subscriptions or cancelling them altogether. In multiple financial reports, Multichoice has acknowledged that the rising cost of living meant that 'households are struggling to make ends meet and many had no choice but to give up their DStv subscription for the time being.'

City Power offers free electricity to these Johannesburg residents
City Power has urged low-income Johannesburg residents to sign up for its Free Basic Electricity (FBE) programme, which provides 50 kilowatts of electricity per month at no cost. The initiative forms part of efforts to reduce infrastructure damage and recover lost revenue caused by illegal electricity use. Spokesperson Isaac Mangena revealed that the free electricity programme aims to reconnect over 140 000 households who are not paying for electricity. 'Many of these customers are consuming electricity without paying, resulting in massive revenue losses for the utility and the increasing destruction of our infrastructure,' he said. Additionally, by targeting vulnerable groups and formalising their electricity use, the city hopes to clean up its billing system and improve compliance. City Power has also committed to replacing damaged or tampered meters without penalising qualifying residents. The free electricity programme is open to unemployed residents or those earning R7500 or less monthly. Applicants must also be South African citizens or permanent residents, legally occupy the property, and provide the necessary supporting documentation. 'The criteria also include being a South African citizen or permanent resident and being the legal occupants of the property in question,' Mangena explained. 'Supporting documentation such as a valid ID, proof of residence, COJ rates and taxes account, and income verification, such as a SASSA card or affidavit, will be required at registration.' The free electricity initiative is designed to support senior citizens, women and children, persons with disabilities, the unemployed, and child-headed households. City Power said that the programme reinforces the principle of electricity as a fundamental human right. 'The FBE programme is designed to cushion the most vulnerable and ensure access to electricity as a basic human right, while also helping to clean up the billing and compliance environment,' Mangena stated.
