The Cape Town Club was such a success that our landlord wants to turn our shop space into en suite bedrooms.

With the demand for accommodation in the CBD, one can understand. We’ve been treated very well and given 2 months to vacate which is more than fair.

We’re off to the KZN midlands to trade online. This move will take a few weeks. We hope to be up and running again by the 25th of March.

The Cape Town Club

The Cape Town Club has been such a success that our landlord wants to turn our shop space into ensuite bedrooms. With the very high demand for accommodation in the CBD, one can understand. We’ve been treated very well and given 2 months to vacate which is more than fair. We’re off to the KZN midlands to trade online. This move will take a few weeks. We hope to be up and running again by the 25th of March.

I’m entering a very exciting phase of my book selling career. Expect more videos and more short stories as I settle into this new phase of my life.
