CAPE REBEL STORIES
Cape Rebel distributes emails containing well-told stories, the purpose of which is to prompt interest in subjects far removed from the routine of our everyday lives.

WHY ALL THE FUSS ABOUT STORIES?
Think back in time. 

Imagine cave-dwellers after a hard day’s hunting or gathering … sitting around an open fire … telling stories to the rhythm of the dancing flames … listening at the fringe of flame-fall … shooting stars punctuating the night … southern cross illuminating all.

None of this unduly stretches the South African imagination. Our strong culture of braaiing over red-hot coals is no stranger to bushveld, night skies or the storyteller’s art. Fireside stories are both ancient and modern: our tradition, our birthright, our custom.

At Cape Rebel we love nothing more than to sprawl around a comforting fire, listening to good stories under magnificent starry skies.

We hope that our featured stories will inspire you to get out under the stars, share your stories by firelight, and listen to the answering sounds of Africa.
