A UK tourist has accused Capetonians of hiding a major weather secret from visitors. He posted on Facebook on 8 July 2026 about Cape Town’s surprisingly sunny winter.
The man, using the Facebook name Eggchasers Rugby, shared a video about his holiday. He said locals kept warning him that Western Cape winters bring terrible, gloomy weather. Instead, he found blue skies and sunshine every single time he visited the city.
Eggchasers Rugby is a popular social media page known for rugby content and humour. The page often shares light-hearted videos about sport, travel and everyday South African life.
