Description

View of the Foreshore, Cape Town, shows progress on the freeways. At the start of the major contract, which will provide about 1 km of elevated dual carriageways parallel to the harbour fence, Murray & Stewart (Cape Town) offered to cut six months from the contract time. Three years later, with allowable extensions, they are still ahead of that speeded-up schedule. This means that the project should be completed in September 1976. Allowing for escalation, the total value of the work now being handled on the freeways will be in the region of R21-million.

Description

Muizenberg pavilion opened: This was the opening day of the Muizenberg Pavilion on December 14, 1929. Built at a cost of some £200 000 it was destined to last only only about 40 years, for the demolition started on this building towards the end of 1970. This brick and stone building replaced the old wooden pavilion with its wooden-slatted promenade deck that served bathers and visitors alike to this most popular of South African beaches. This pavilion which was opened by the Cape Administrator of the time, Mr J.H. Conradie, consisted of three sections - the bathing cubicles, the tearoom-restauraunt and a theatre seating about 900.
