Cape Town Tourism joined Georgina Harwood and her family on Table Mountain for a very special occasion – Georgina’s hundredth birthday celebration on 10th March.
Georgina is one of Cape Town’s most inspiring residents, planning to skydive on Saturday, 14 March 2015 in celebration of her hundredth birthday and in order to raise funds for the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI).
Cape Town Tourism CEO, Enver Duminy, said; “Georgina is a shining example of the ultimate Cape Town ambassador, representing a local that is living her life like a tourist by experiencing all the city has to offer, trying new things, sharing her passion and living life to the full.”
Georgina expressed that her birthday wish was to go up Table Mountain with her family for a day and Cape Town Tourism has endeavoured to make this happen with the help of many partners, in addition to providing her with other bucket list wishes such as a trip on the City Sightseeing Bus, a visit to Boulders Beach and Cape Point, and a visit to the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB) to see the penguins.
Cape Town Tourism believes that locals are the ultimate ambassadors of the city. It is the locals who interact with our visitors and tell the stories of the city and its people.
Georgina’s life motto is so fitting for a destination filled with so many opportunities, which is “Do it now! Whether it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, good or bad, relaxing or challenging – don’t delay.”
Duminy concluded; “We encourage all of our citizens to live like a visitor would. Do the things that you’ve always wanted to but keep putting off and try new experiences often. It keeps you young – and it keeps life fun. There is so much to do in Cape Town 365 days a year!”
Happy Birthday from MapMyWay!
