HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Duncan!!!!

If you are in Cape Town today, then you’ll know well the CRAZY weather that Cape Town is having.
It’s the 24h of December, Christmas Eve, summer and we’re in the middle of a very angry STORM!
I woke up this morning to a mountain covered in a thick blanket of GREY CLOUD and heavy hard wind BANGING on my window. I got to the eSquared Fashion CT store, just in time, coz no sooner as I’d switched on the lights the heavens cracked open and heavy rain began to pound the pavements.
The bolts of LIGHTNING were striking with geat force. It looked like they were flashing right outside the door!! I have NEVER heard drones of THUNDER as angry and as loud as I am hearing them now!! 
The WIND is so strong that some Sea Point stores’ front signage, including eSquared’s, have broken.The MTN store in Sea Point, has had their window smashed in by the wind!!
This is seriously CRAZY weather!!!!!
Has the weather forgotton that it’s actually meant to be SUMMER? Maybe the weather is just angry with global warming?
PLEASE BRING BACK THE SUN!!!!!

Hope you are all enjoying the absolutely gorgeous day that Cape Town is having today.
I just wanna let you know that our happy bears are ready and waiting to WELCOME you all into the eSquared Cape Town store tomorrow. YES, TOMORROW, coz….

Looking forward to seeing you all between 10h00 - 14h00 tomorrrow!
Many people often ask me why I have a security gate in the eSquared Cape Town store. Well, here is another reason why.
About half an our ago a known, Sea Point street wonderer ( a person who lives either on the street on in a shelter and is jobless) tried to gain access into the Cape Town store, but I would NOT buzz him in. So he hung himself over the gate and started staring at me.
I called armed response immediately and they held on the line with me until one of their security guards arrived. However, this street wonderer would NOT leave. he started pulling on the gate and then lit a cigarette and pushed himself up against the window.
He immediately fled when the securty guard arrived. All is thankfully alright now and no real harm was done.
However, this is a VERY REAL and COMMON occurance in Cape Town, especially the CBD area, during season. Chancers are all over the place.
So, I hope some of you can now understand why I have to have my trusty security gate at the entrance of the store. It’s not just for my our safety, but for your safety too. Had I not had this security gate, who knows what may have happened… to the store, to me or even customers.
