About this audio guide
This guide to Oranjezicht City Farm Market in Cape Town opens the night Sheryl Ozinsky and her partner were attacked in their own Oranjezicht home, and traces how that fear led her to two forgotten bowling greens on a spring-fed plot farmed since 1709. The Van Breda family worked that land for generations before a housing scheme, then a demolished homestead, then decades of neglect left the greens sitting unused. Stand among the market stalls and picture rows of vegetables replacing all of that in 2012.
