Capetonians are streaming to the city centre for tonight’s switch-on of the festive lights in Adderley Street.
City of Cape Town’s Pieter Cronje says around 50-thousand people are expected at the festivities. Mayor Helen Zille and 2010 Soccer World Cup mascot Zakumi will flick the switch.
Several city roads have been closed off and a variety of entertainment has been laid on, says Cronje.
“The city has made provision for medical services, temporary toilet facilities and special water points in what is being used as a practice run for the 2010 soccer spectacular.”
