WHAT’S NEW(S)? KAAPSE TAFEL TOWN STALL brings the beauty of the Cape to Namibia
There are not many wonders of nature that compare favourably to the arid beauty of Namibia, but a protea from the Western Cape comes pretty close, especially when you treat yourself or a loved one to a beautiful bouquet from the new Kaapse Tafel Town Stall at Ferreiras in Windhoek. Owners Kalf and Sandra van Zyl have created a beautiful would-be padstal (road stall) like one you would find only in the Cape Winelands – right in the middle of Windhoek. While the stall stocks everything from jams, nuts, spices, olive oils, nougat and dried fruit straight from the Cape, its most spectacular products by far are the freshly imported proteas, with interesting names such as Lady Di, Brenda and The King. Sandra explains that the emotion surrounding each of these flowers sends you on a memory trip and that it is this nostalgia that lends to the uniqueness of each flower. Sandra and Kalf also stock a very rare little flower known as the Pityphilla, which grows only on Mitchell’s Pass in the Western Cape and is exported mainly to Europe and Asia. With all these wonderful elements at her disposal, Sandra does arrangements for weddings and other events, making Kaapse Tafel Town Stall the only place you need to visit if you’re searching for the perfect combination of beauty and nostalgia for your special event, or even just your everyday happiness.
