Shoprite store located in Ilorin-Kwara State, had no
alternative than to completely shut its doors after a crowd of custornmerr
stormed their store for shopping today. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Reports from eyewitnesses have that the crowd turn too much
for the store to manage so they have to shut their doors in order to prevent
even more outside from coming in. That even did not deter many from waiting
outside. I think this is why Nigeria is the biggest market in Africa. Lol!</div>

In an announcement made at a ceremony in New York on Wednesday July 6‚ is an 
indication that the city “continues to pull out all the stops to attract
 domestic and international visitors‚ gathering awards around the globe 
for her magnificent beauty and tourist offerings”‚ according to the City
 of Cape Town website.<br />
<br />
Mayoral Committee member for Tourism‚ 
Events and Economic Development‚ councillor Garreth Bloor said he felt 
“deeply honoured and extremely proud”‚ and thanked those who had voted 
for the Mother City.<br />
<br />
“Those of us who live in Cape Town tend to 
take the natural beauty of our city for granted. “Such accolades make us
 appreciate our awesome surroundings once again. It is indeed humbling 
for all residents.<br />
<br />
“While we pride ourselves in being a well-run 
city‚ we still have work to do. Cape Town has been one of the fastest 
growing cities in South Africa in terms of urbanisation and I think it 
is quite clear why everyone wants to live‚ work‚ and play in Cape Town‚”
