Availability

The Cape Aflame Project is an independent initiative by volunteer professionals. All proceeds go to our designated partners. Independently published and marketed, The Cape Aflame – Cape Town's Dance with Fire has been a stunning success, selling rapidly into the private and public sectors. Because all proceeds go to public-benefit organisations, we do not plan a reprint and the book, now a collector's item, is officially out of print. You may, however, locate a copy at one of our selected stockists.
