Whistlestop weekend tour for the timeless Old Mutual

Old Mutual, the Springbok insurance giant, may have shed its mutual status, gone public and moved the HQ of the plc to London last year, but some things in Cape Town are forever mutual it seems. Years ago, before these things were fashionable, Old Mutual moved its South African head office from downtown Cape Town and plonked it down in the suburbs right on the main Cape to Jo'burg railway line. To this day, the railway station is simply called Mutual. Even the dimmest or most hungover employee can have no excuse for failing to find their way to the office.
