People were locked up inside a Cape Town theater: I (and many friends here) would have raided the snack bar / concession stand.

So, it looks like Durban is getting some competition from Cape Town as the Florida of South Africa, and Trevor, if you ever get tired of your old job, I think they have a job opening at the Ster-Kinekor.

The odd thing is Ster-Kinekor used to own almost all of the feature films we have here in the archives.

As to the job there: I've screened many films in their theatres - no thanks.
