City of Cape Town photographer, Bruce Sutherland, captured the excitement of the New Year’s Eve launch of World Design Capital 2014. A huge crowd, estimated to be as many as 80 000 to 100 000 came to party in the city centre.
The City Hall and Grand Parade was where the launch officially occurred, but Adderley Street and funky Long Street were also abuzz with locals and holidaymakers having fun as they saw the new year in.
These photos by Bruce Sutherland capture some of the spectacle and the fun.
