How much would it cost to live in Cape Town, South Africa?
Q: I'm volunteering in Cape Town and my housing and 2 meals a day are paid in the cost. However, I need to bring extra spending money for dinners and going out and whatnot. However, I don't know how much extra I should bring.
A: How much money you need will depend to a large extent on your lifestyle. Eating out and entertainment are always high-cost items and if you will be doing this regularly you may need much more than if it is an occasional treat.
Since all of your housing and meal costs are covered you could probably get by reasonably on about ZAR 5000 per month- say US $ 700.

How nice you're volunteering, and what a great place to do it! Cape Town is a wonderful city. There's a lot of poverty but a lot of wealth, too. I hate to tell you it's very expensive, though. VAT adds considerably but you might be able to get that back on some purchases--keep your receipts and check the policy before you go.
If I am going to spend 5 months in Cape Town, should I learn Xhosa or Zulu?
Q: I am a student planning on spending a semester studying at the University of Cape Town. English is my first language (being an American) and I intend to study Afrikaans while in South Africa as well. But I am very interested in volunteering in less privileged parts of the Cape and am wondering which would be the more useful language of isiXhosa and isiZulu. I want to be able to connect and communicate with the poorer citizens of the area in their first language, instead of the more common languages of their historical oppressors.
A: Xhosa is predominantly spoken in the Cape. Zulu is mainly spoken in Kwa-Zulu Natal, on the east side of the country. So you will be doing well learning a smidgen of Xhosa. And will earn a lot of respect from the people if you can speak a few words of their language. You will find that most of the people also can speak some english and afrikaans, and even one or two more of South Africa´s eleven official languages. The Cape Coloureds speak mainly Afrikaans, but more and more are adopting english as their home language.

Well just about all people in South Africa speak English.As for isiXhosa that would be more of a cultural thing to learn a little .Then there's "Afrikaans" which is known by the locals as "Taal".
The Afrikaans language is Germanic deriving from "17th Century Middle Dutch. Afrikaans is the only official language of European origin in the World to have evolved outside the European Continent.
You stipulate "opressors" yet remember that during the Anglo-Boers War from 1902-1905 The Dutch (Boers) had tribal blacks fight along side them against the Brits(Anglos) whom had tribal blacks allied with them as well to fight for the country.The Coloreds & Malays wanted to go along with the Apartheid.The word "Apartheid' means separate in Afrikaans.The theory of "Apartheid was written
then imputed by JF.Milan in 1948.All of South Africa during the Apartheid had the best health care in all of African nations for all it's citizens. -
The 2 people before me had good info! Colourds speak mostly Afrikaans, mutually inteligible with Dutch and quite similiar to english as well. Xhosa is indeed spoken in the Cape area in the outskirts by the blacks. 99% (my estimate) of the whites speak English and people from over 150 countries attend UCT, thats a fact though.
You'll do just fine with english but learning Afrikaans would be a wise idea, especially since it's a simple language to learn for english speakers -
Frankly, for 5 months, it would not be worth your while to learn one of these very complex languages. Most South Africans can speak enough English to get by. Learn a few phrases like greetings, please and thank you.

Honestly speaking you do not necessarily need to learn Xhosa , Cape town everybody understands English. Xhosa people mix their language with English. So when you want to evaluate Africans who can and cannot speak English, Africans from CPT mix their language with English which they have begin to think it’s part of xhosa where in actual fact itsn't…. Just for knowledge sake you can if you want to not a must
What is the best hotel in Cape Town?
Q: I'm searching for hotel in Cape Town to stay in Nov. for reasonable price and not too dingy...a and safe area?
A: I've not been to Capetown but since it been nearly a day and you've not had a reply I suggest you check out a guidebook for good/safe areas.
http://www.hotels.via.us.com/City/Cape_Town.htm lists over 400 Capetown hotels and allows you to restrict your search by distance from whichever of 40 Capetown districts you specify - so you will be able to restrict your search to any area you like. Check maps pictures and reviews for the hotels.
N.B. it compares prices offered by major hotel chains plus the big travel sites like Laterooms and Hotels.com and you book direct with the one you choose.
Hope this helps
