Quick Cape Town Fact: One of the oldest traditions in Cape Town is still alive and well, startling visitors at precisely midday—every day. An old cannon at the top of Signal Hill is fired off, sending a resounding boom around the CBD.

Rumour has it the gun only failed once in those two centuries—because a spider interfered with the remote signal.
