Emlyn, the lucky winner of our Cape Town International Jazz Festival giveaway, tells us he had a "superb" weekend. He spent two nights at the Lady Hamilton Hotel in Cape Town, courtesy of Zipping Zebra and the Leisure Hotel Group. "The hotel was lovely, especially the view of Signal Hill", Emlyn lets us know. "Thank you so much for the stay, it is much appreciated!" Like so many people - from near and far - he thoroughly enjoyed the Jazz festival at the CTICC. Zipping Zebra will be offering more specials and competitions around major events. We are currently very busy updating our events calendar. Click here to see what's coming up...

Cape Town Carnival!

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

Young and old, black and white, straight and gay, slim and curvaceous; and everything in between... the hundreds of participants in this year’s Cape Town Carnival are a true reflection of the colourful inhabitants that make the Mother City great. It doesn’t matter where you are from or how you make a living, just put on your dancing shoes and let Cape Town welcome you! Some might even argue that the fact that the carnival took place just after the traditional carnival period, can be attributed to the notorious laidback Cape vibe... Although there were many references to The Carnival in Rio, the Cape Town Carnival - which is set to be a yearly spectacle - is undeniably authentic. The crowd in Long Street cheered, clapped and laughed as the colourful performers danced to the music - ranging from traditional Indian folklore to pumping house beats and the minstrel brass bands.
The colourful floats represented the many things that make this city and this country great… from the dinosaurs that once roamed this land to the splendor of the two oceans and the kaleidoscopes of cultures. For those of you who missed the party on Saturday or those who want to relive it… Enjoy the Youtube video and some photos that Zippy took at the event!

Zippy supports Pink Drive

Like many Capetonians Zippy will be watching the Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cylce Tour on Sunday. Our staff members will especially support the riders of the Pink Drive team that is supporting breast cancer awareness and research. You can join us in front of our office in Hout Bay, at the beach side of Victoria Avenue. This is where the Pink Mile starts leading the cyclists up to Suikerbossie. You will recognise us by our pink outfits and you can have your hair sprayed pink in support of Pink Drive.
