The Electric describes itself as “an ongoing experiment”. And the East City juice and nut-milk bar, sandwich shop and bakery continues to be forward-thinking with the establishment of its own vegetable and fruit garden in the Swartland area.

The Cape Town Central City Improvement District’s 2019 “Show you care” campaign, aimed at raising R100K for the CBD’s homeless community, has reached the quarter-way mark.

The focus of the campaign is to raise R100 000 for the homeless via SnapScan, which makes it easy to support. And so far, R29 011.00 has been raised for the CCID’s partner NGOs that make a real difference to the lives of this vulnerable community.
