Strike!

Cape Town is having a bus and taxi strike! More aptly, it's just a bus strike, but taxis refuse to run in solidarity (otherwise, there is just a flood of business for taxis and managers pit the groups against one another). Luckily, nobody cares about a taxi or two going down main road in Rondebosch (UCT's neighborhood), so we still have a 5R ride when we need one. However, they told us that if someone tried to drive a taxi in Langa, they would not get very far.

The train station by our house looks really weird and empty without mini buses...
