Your point is flippant, but you do make an interesting point. There is huge demand for skilled programmers in South Africa, and very few skilled graduates. Most are employed in Johannesburg, and the majority are snapped up by the financial industry, as someone else pointed out in this thread. Convincing them to consider Cape Town will be difficult. Apart from UCT graduates, it will be interesting to see who else they manage to attract.
Cape Town is a great city (and the best run municipality in the country), but it lacks the dynamism of Johannesburg. I have to wonder if "tourist" considerations, rather than serious business thinking drove the decision to put the incubator in Cape Town.
