Another Bomb Scare in Cape Town

by Stii

NedbankThis morning the entire section in front of the Nedbank building in Heerengracht street was cordoned off due to an alleged bomb scare.

Now, I’m not sure if it is just because I’m more tuned in due to the fact that I’m now living in Cape Town or if there is actually an uptake in bomb scares, but it does not seem normal! I often hear on the news about bomb scares and this must have been the 5th scare I’m aware of in the past two months. Earlier this month Jason Bagley tweeted about a bomb scare at the Somerset Mall. Whats up with that? Capetonians, is this normal?

Thankfully, it was only empty threats by the look of things. As @fearsumm said, “banks foreclosing on people is enough to push some over the edge i suppose”. Scary thought that!
