lets say I am new to Cape Town ... where do I meet new people?
work is not an option ... for arguments sake, lets say my co-workers and boss are all old geysers ... and besides, i like to keep work and pleasure separate.
I am most interested in single women my age or younger ... i.e. women in their 20's (finding guys to hand out with and watch sports is like finding water in the ocean ... finding women is like finding sunken treasure in the middle of the ocean)
are there any mainstream Christian churches (Catholic/mainstream protestant) that have a lot of younger, active, unmarried members? are there outdoor activities which the male to female ration is not like 100:1 (my experience with mountain biking ... but I guess I should have expected that)
what about yoga or aerobics? I am almost considering taking up ballet or ball room dancing .... what about exercise clubs? I actually like active women who are not overweight but unfortunately a lot of women who gym are very conceited ( not all ... i know) ... any suggestions?
Hi again, so many sports clubs, but not all appeal to younger people. I can recommend yachting, you could start off offering to crew on someone´s yacht. Squash, tennis are also OK. Volleyball or other beach sports, canoeing are also for young. Take a look at the University of Cape Town´s sport list. Perhaps you could even take part in one or two. Phone up and enquire.

For yachting, the Royal Cape Yacht Club does ocean sailing, and for other on lakes contact the Western Province Sailing Association (021 – 4397976) for more information. The Zeekoevlei Yacht club also has a rowing club affiliated to them: http://www.zvyc.org.za/
Another option will be the Lions and Rotary Clubs. Both of them have a Junior Section where the 20 year olds plus are active.

Each of these clubs have different districts (areas) in Cape Town, so enquire which is closer to you.
For churches, I recommend again, phone up a few churches and ask if they have many young members, and see if the faith is what you imagine is right for you.

What ever you do, and wherever you go, most places will welcome visitors who would like to get a feel of the place.
And if you have a talent in some or other sport, why not use it to help juniors get going? That is also a way of meeting people.
