Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront (V&A) had now largely recovered from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, CEO David Green told journalists, at a media briefing on Wednesday. “We had a very tough couple of years,” he reported. V&A management’s approach during the pandemic had been to try as preserve as many of the businesses and activities on the waterfront as they could. “We pretty much did that, in all sectors.” The V&A did not reduce its own staff complement, and supported the businesses it hosted by, for example, reducing their rental fees. Even so, the waterfront’s restaurant sector had been particularly badly hit, with ten of the 80 eateries in the complex going under. However, nine of these had already been replaced.
