Cape Town.
I think most people know these as Disa Park, but they have some very interesting nicknames.
Have you ever wondered what these three buildings are called?
These are the famous Disa Park towers in Vredehoek, Cape Town, sitting right at the foot of Table Mountain. The three towers are officially named Blinkwater, Platteklip and Silverstroom.
They were completed in 1969 and each tower is around 55 metres high. Over the years, Capetonians have given them some rather funny nicknames including the “Pepper Pots” and, less politely, the “Tampon Towers.”
I photographed this view and I’m curious…
What do YOU call these three towers?
