Working, so probably won't get to see too much of the touristy stuff, but might be able to do some in down-time. I'll be honest I know next to nothing about SA. I've heard of Table Mountain! |  |

Avoid the VA waterfront it’s touristy and you could be anyone where.
Long street
Clifton for the decent up market local spots
Don’t forget to turn the shower
Don’t forget to turn the two off, they haven’t got much left. |  | | |

If you want to learn about Apartheid and how it impacted ordinary people, check out District 6 museum.
Night out, Long/Lang St for sure. Camps Bay is a bit up its own arse but less touristy than the V&A.
Outdoors, Chapmans Drive down to Cape of good hope. Or get a guide and climb Tb mountain. People die trying to do it unguided so dont go on your own.
You can do a township tour (Llanga) if that is of interest.
Lang St has cameras all over it and plenty of police. I happily bar crawled it a couple of times. Best bet it to get a local to show you around as they'll know the score. |  |

Maybe I got lucky on the day that I went?
Top of Table Mountain was the quietest place I’ve ever been on gods earth, I walked from the cable car for around 45 minutes to the highest point and it was the most serene experience |
We did this as soon as we arrived - didn't even unpack. We've got a driver for the week who will take us wherever we want and she suggested we do it as the weather was great. As you say, even though there's plenty of people up there, when you move away from the crowd for a bit you can almost hear the silence if that makes sense. Like you say, incredibly serene - in fact eerie! | |

Boulder's beach is quite nice, see the penguins and get a good view of table mountain from the beach. |
Are they the penguins that sound like donkeys? One of the funniest things I ever saw. |  | | |

If you like wine, visit a wine farm for a tasting, and lunch.
There are some good ones in Constantia (not too far from the city). Constantia Glen is a favourite of mine.
The Penguin reserve near Simon's Town is also lovely.
And Robben Island as other posters have said. Needs a full afternoon, but really educating |  | | |
