Hookups in Cape Town and the Western Cape

How many LetsMeetUp members there are in Cape Town, Stellenbosch, George and around, who they are, and how to meet safely.

In short

Yes, there are people to meet in Cape Town and across the Western Cape. More than 2,000 members list Cape Town as home on LetsMeetUp, with others in Stellenbosch, Bellville and George.

Cape Town

Cape Town is the second biggest pool in South Africa after Johannesburg.

About two thirds of members are between 25 and 44, and about one in ten is 65 or over, which is a noticeably bigger older group than in most places. The suburbs and towns around the city are listed separately, including Bellville, Mitchells Plain and Table View, so search the one nearest to you as well as the city.

George, Stellenbosch and the rest of the province

George has more than 200 members, and about six in ten of them are between 25 and 44. Stellenbosch has a browse page of its own, as does Heathfield.

Outside Cape Town the pools are smaller, so the best approach is patient: read the active profiles, and write to a few rather than many.
