Construction - valued at R230 million - has started on the Superyacht Marina development, where billionaires can park their boats💰🛥️
More details about South Africa’s first purpose-built Quay 7 Superyacht Marina in the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town:
• Completion date: 31 October 2026
• 120 construction workers are currently employed on site
• 6 Damen 3006 pontoons measure 30 metres each and will provide berthing for eight vessels up to 90 metres
• 76% of procurement spend = directed to local suppliers
More and more superyachts have been choosing the V&A Waterfront since 2009. During the 2024/25 season alone, 35 superyachts visited, with many staying for weeks or even months rather than just stopping over.
A keel laying ceremony was hosted earlier this month at the Damen Shipyards factory in the Port of Cape Town. A keel laying ceremony is traditionally held to mark the official start of a ship’s construction. Historically, it involved laying the keel, the ship’s main structural backbone, from which the rest of the vessel was built.
While modern shipbuilding has evolved, the ceremony remains an important milestone. For the V&A Waterfront’s new floating pontoons, it marked the welding of the first structural steel plates, symbolising the official beginning of their construction.
Chidimma was born, raised, studied and has lived her entire life in South Africa, I think it would be grossly inhumane to deport her to Nigeria, a country she doesn’t know.
Yes, if she broke the law or did something wrong, she must be sanctioned accordingly but not deported.

KZN is on fire with the hospitality offerings coming to market. This specific opportunity is close to Gateway Shopping Centre.
Recent hospitality developments in the region include the R2 billion Club Med Resort in Tinley Manor, which opened last week, and the upcoming Southern Sun hotel, scheduled to open at the end of 2027 in the South Tower of Oceans Umhlanga.
Aparthotels are trending globally. Travellers are staying longer to make their trips worth the cost, and these units offer more space to cook, work, and host guests than a standard hotel room.

True alchemists know you just gotta lean into your inner chaos in order to conjure something new. This is why people stuck in chronic avoidance also suffer for prolonged periods. There is no reward for avoiding yourself.
