Story Transcript:
Af: Die oggendson skyn helder oor Tafelberg se ikoniese plat bo-punt.
En: The morning sun shines brightly over Tafelberg's iconic flat summit.
Af: Die vars lug dra 'n tikkie seebries, en die voëls fladder vrolik rond.
En: The fresh air carries a hint of sea breeze, and the birds flutter about cheerfully.
Af: Dit is laat lente, en Cape Town lê pragtig voor die oog af.
