Incoming from The Tall Accountant:
I turned into Upper Buitengracht St this morning in front of our building (in the CITY CENTRE) and had to drive around 2 cows!
I kid you not – photo on the way.
And here it is, with the cattle safely removed from the dangerous traffic flow.
It looks like Sheffield on a Friday night. But without the vomit and the fighting.
“Leave ‘im, Buttercup – ‘e’s not worth it!”
For those of you who don’t know where Upper Buitengracht Street is (let alone how to pronounce it), here’s a map showing you just how close this is to the actual centre of the city of Cape Town.
As The Tall Accountant says:
This tops the goat that was loose about a year ago.
Absolutely. And that thing with those chickens.

would it have been legal to put one in the car take it home and do a beef burger weekend?
ok I am sorry, that was very insensitive.
although – were there any restaurants close by?
maybe they escaped from there.

LOL!
Your experiment on the infinite cheese burger escaped. Busted!
It’s actually not that unusual to see live stock roaming the streets of Tamboerskloof. Everybody knows Cape Town is a dorp! I actually had to brake quite hard one morning at 4 am, so that a black potbellied pig can saunter over the road. All the roaming farm animals escape from the farm on Millitary Road. So handy including a map. There must be some Virgo in you!
Veal escape-a-lot – fresh to your door.
Or just a couple teenage cows, out on the moo… yeah, okay, I’ll get my coat!

No beef on the menu at Blue Danube that day then.
And you make comments about PE being a bit of a village???
PhillipGibb > Plenty of restaurants. Tempting, isn’t it?
Andrew > Think of how much bread you’d need…
Astrodate > We figured that was where they came from. And this blog gets red all over the world – so the map helps those overseas readers out.
HH > *sigh*
GaiB > I’m amazed at the number of people who just want to eat these guys!
Pamela > Because it is.
Not the Buitengrachten St I rememeber, it’s a more like Kathmandu but with less cows.
I have a stake in those cows. As wrong as that sounds, those are in fact my friend’s cows.
