Cape Town Restaurants Serving Iftar For Ramadan 2026

2026-02-17 Maravi Post Reporter

As Cape Town’s Muslim community welcomes the holy month of Ramadan, the city’s halal restaurants open their doors for specially curated iftar experiences, from buffets to set menus and everything in between.

This year, Ramadan in South Africa is expected to begin on the evening of Tuesday, 18 February 2026, with the first day of fasting on Wednesday, 19 February. The holy month will last 29 or 30 days, ending on or around 18 March 2026. Eid al-Fitr, the celebration marking the end of Ramadan, will take place between 19 and 20 March 2026.

Iftar, or Boeka (the Cape Malay term commonly used in Cape Town), marks the time when Muslims are allowed to eat and drink after a long day of fasting from dawn until sunset.

If you are looking for halal restaurants to break your fast or experience this tradition, here are some options:

Kyle Chrisley’s Mugshot Released, New Details on Domestic Violence Arrest

2025-12-22 Maravi Post Reporter

Todd Chrisley’s son Kyle Chrisley’s mugshot has been released two days after he was booked on domestic violence, intoxication and a slew of other charges.

The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee made Kyle’s mugshot public on Monday, December 22, while confirming more details about his arrest over the weekend.

In the photo obtained by Us Weekly, Kyle, 34, is making a stern face as he looks at the camera. His dirty blond hair is disheveled and he has a scruffy beard. A bit of a green vest can also be seen in the photo.

Along with the mugshot, Sheriff Mike Fitzhugh issued a press release on Monday, confirming that “multiple charges were filed against a husband accused of assaulting three deputies responding to a domestic assault call” that transpired on Saturday, December 20.

Kyle has since been charged with three counts of “felony retaliation for past actions,” three counts of “felony assault on first responders” as well as “misdemeanor domestic assault, public intoxication, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest,” according to police.

News broke on Sunday, December 21, that Todd’s eldest son — whom he shares with ex-wife Teresa Terry — was arrested one day prior in Tennessee.

According to Monday’s press release, deputies responded to a call on Saturday made by Kyle’s wife, who claimed he was being “belligerent” and walking down the middle of the road as she followed him in her vehicle. (Kyle married Ashleigh Nelson in 2021.)

Kyle Chrisley Arrested for Allegedly Attacking Boss: New Details

Once the police arrived on scene, they attempted to speak with Kyle, but according to sergeant Brady Greene, the former reality star “became immediately aggressive.”

Kyle then allegedly “charged at deputies and began to throw punches and assault deputies.”

He was taken into custody after a “physical altercation and deployment of OC Spray,” per the officer. Three deputies reportedly “suffered injuries” during the altercation.

Kyle, meanwhile, was released on $88,5000 bond and has a hearing set for January 27.

Todd Chrisley Reveals Son Kyle Visited Him in Prison: ‘State of Shock’

Following his arrest, Us Weekly reached out to Kyle for comment.

As Chrisley Knows Best fans know, this is not Kyle’s first run-in with the law, as he has a history of arrests dating back to 2013. At the time, Kyle’s dad and stepmom, Julie Chrisley, received joint custody of his daughter, Chloe, now 13, after he was arrested for assault. Todd, 56, and Julie, 52, received full custody of Chloe in 2016.

In 2019, Kyle was hospitalized following an attempted suicide. Through the darkness, Kyle found a shining light in Nelson, whom he began dating that same year.

Kyle Chrisley’s Ups and Downs Through the Years: Multiple Arrests and More

Two years after the pair tied the knot, Kyle was back in the headlines. He was arrested and charged with aggravated assault in March 2023. Kyle was later released on bond and before a trial, prosecutors dismissed the charges.

In August, Kyle filed a $1.7 million lawsuit against Rutherford County and two sheriff’s deputies over a September 2024 aggravated assault arrest.

In the documents, both Kyle and his wife claimed that he was falsely arrested at his home in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in 2024 following an altercation with a “disgruntled mechanic” who they claimed was “angry over a payment dispute, showed up uninvited, kicked at their doors, threatened violence and used his car as a weapon by ramming their SUV and nearly running Kyle over in front of multiple neighbors.”

One Chicago Fall Finale Breakdown: Every Cliffhanger Explained

2025-11-12 Maravi Post Reporter

The One Chicago fall finales left Us with a lot of questions after putting multiple lives in jeopardy and teasing a Firehouse 51 shakeup that could change everything.

Chicago Med, Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D.’s respective Wednesday, November 12, cliffhangers have many fans reeling — and we’re explaining them all.

Med kicked off the night by teasing a possible love triangle before diving into a darker story line involving Dr. Caitlin Lenox (Sarah Ramos) and a former patient.

Fire put Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) back in touch with his fire investigation self, while one of the rigs in Firehouse 51 faced closing down permanently.

One Chicago’s Most Heartbreaking Exits

P.D., for its part, focused on how a new case could be linked to a past killer — and his deranged father.

Scroll down for a complete breakdown of the One Chicago fall finales:

‘Chicago Med’

During Med’s fall finale, Dr. John Frost (Darren Barnet) tried and failed to get paramedic Lyla Novak’s (Jocelyn Hudon) phone number before Dr. Naomi Howard (Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut) confessed her feelings for him — even though she admitted they missed their time.

The episode, however, took a darker turn when suspected wife beater Devin Carter (Jack Falahee) returned to the ED with injuries he claimed were from a hockey accident. Dr. Caitlin Lenox (Ramos) suspected that his injuries were actually defensive, meaning his wife, Faye (Olivia Nikkanen), could be in danger.

Earlier this season, Faye was admitted to the hospital and reached out to help after being abused by her husband. She ultimately decided to go home and not file any charges against her spouse, but Devin made it clear to Lenox that he didn’t appreciate her interfering.

One Chicago Stars Who Left the Franchise: Where Are They Now?

During Wednesday’s episode, Lenox battled a storm to get to Faye’s house while Dr. Mitch Ripley (Luke Mitchell) distracted Devin at the hospital. When she arrived, she located Faye bleeding in the basement unable to move.

After hearing a loud sound, Lenox went upstairs to find the door slamming in the wind. She started to call for help when Devin popped up behind her and knocked her out by hitting her in the head with a gun.

‘Chicago Fire’

Chicago Fire’s fall finale was focused more on personal breakthroughs and work-related drama.

Viewers learned that Novak (Hudon) has a strained relationship with her siblings, after her sister, Heidi, landed in the hospital for a bad reaction to mixing sleeping pills with grapefruit juice.

Sal Vasquez (Brandon Larracuente), meanwhile, worked his first shift as a paramedic-firefighter with Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith), which was a success. After their shift, he was surprised by his crooked cop father, who was released from prison. The tension between the pair was evident as Vasquez’s dad took back his car, leaving his son to bum a ride from Violet.

Why Chicago Med’s Dr. Archer Was Supposed to Be Killed Off After 4 Episodes

While Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) was away helping her and Kelly Severide’s (Kinney) foster son get his mom the right medical treatment, Severide assisted with a fire investigation case. While informing a school principal that he was the intended target of a school fire started earlier in the episode, a fire broke out at his apartment — with both Severide and Tom Van Meter (Tim Hopper) inside.

The biggest cliffhanger came when Chief Dom Pascal (Dermot Mulroney) finally had a real date with Chief Annette Davis (Annabeth Gish). During their dinner, Annette revealed that her office decided they need to permanently decommission several engines, including Engine 51, which means new lieutenant Randall “Mouch” McHolland (Christian Stolte) could be out of a job.

‘Chicago P.D.’

Chicago P.D.’s dramatic fall finale kicked off with Sergeant Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) being sent more photos of his childhood hospital stay. One of the pictures was of his father with the words, “Your father the abuser” written on it.

While Voight seemingly tracked the pictures back to Commander Mark Devlin (Joel Murray) — who vowed to get him back for going over his head to get Intelligence reinstated — it wasn’t the main story line.

After Voight’s team responded to a call about a strange man trying to break into a woman’s home, they discovered the man was actually tortured. He had the same injuries on his hand as the victims of Gary Bell (Sam Cass), who killed himself after going on a killing spree earlier this season.

What Does Chicago P.D.’s Voight Really Think of Burgess and Ruzek’s Marriage?

Voight was convinced Gary’s father, Raymond Bell (Barry Del Sherman), was responsible for the new victim’s death, and did everything possible to prove it. (The team thinks Raymond tortured his son and turned him into the monster he became.)

After slipping Bell’s granddaughter, Julie (Julianna Layne), her phone number, newcomer Eva Imani (Arienne Mandi) got even more invested than Voight in taking down Raymond and saving Julie from his grasp. Once the team found a pattern in Raymond’s alleged hunting ground — and discovered that people just go “missing” on his property — they hit a legal wall that kept them from arresting him.

Eva, however, took matters into her own hands at the end of the episode after receiving a call from Julie. Eva was seen creeping through the Bell home alone at night while searching for Julie. The episode ended with Eva finding Julie’s phone and a loud noise coming from downstairs.

Chicago Med, Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. return with new episodes on NBC Wednesday, January 7.
