Lions Head Porno

After a vintage porno video, seemingly shot on Cape Town's iconic Lion's Head emerged over the weekend, people have taken to social media with humorous quips, including a flood of new reasons to visit Cape Town.

The shocking film first came to light when hilarious Twitter parody account, @LionsheadCPT, shared a still from the video on Sunday, with the caption: “Someone actually made a porno up here. Whaaaat”, followed on Monday morning by: “I feel dirty.”

Within no time, after Channel24 shared the link of the video, Lion's Head's various comical reactions had gone viral and saw Capetonians coming out in droves to have their two cents.

Some even suggested a new tourism slogan for Cape Town, saying:

'New Tourism Ads: Cape Town - Come Visit.'

Others included "Easy come, easy go" as well as "I'm sure they soon found themselves between a rock and a hard place" but it was this response that made us giggle most - "Some fynbos on show here".

While the Twitterverse wasn't specifically using the porno to punt Cape Town as a destination, there were a few witty jibes worth mentioning:

@EmmanuelOn60 - Screw fear of heights, literally! #lionsheadporno

@Kavir17 - Cape of Good Hump #LionsHeadPorno

@LionsHeadCPT - Hey, at least they had a spectacular view. #LionsHeadPorno

@Kavir17 - Camps Bae #LionsHeadPorno

@ShellsPemBroke - What were the producers of #LionsHeadPorno thinking? How am I supposed to focus on the banging with that view?

Bedford Shooting - Images & Eyewitness accounts (graphic images)

These are some images of the shooting scenes at Bradford Shopping Centre today. Please note they are graphic and not for sensitive viewers.

Three customers, two security guards and two suspects were injured during the shooting. All have been taken to hospital," said spokeswoman Lt Col Katlego Mogale.

Security guards were collecting cash inside the centre when they were confronted by a group of armed men, she said.

"A shooting ensued between them, with some customers caught in the crossfire. An undisclosed mount of money was taken by some of the suspects."

Eyewitness statements: 

“I can’t even stand right now I am so scared. We heard shots firing all over the place and when we went out, we saw people lying down. They chased us away, they said the robbers were still around. I’ve only seen that in the movies, not in real life.”

One witness said he tried to run away. “As I was taking the escalator, I heard two shots. I ran back and took the video, that’s when another two shots went off.”

“As I came out of the toilet I just saw people firing guns. A lady came past me and she was shot in the crossfire. Three people were shot. I think it was a robbery.”

Earlier a woman said she hid under a flight of stairs. "They have shot people. There’s a huge gang. I don’t know what they robbed but there’s one still inside here. There are still gun shots going off. It’s chaos.”
