Heard this on a BBC World Service prog years back and went out to buy this album, all on the strength of this track, brilliant album, Voice of Africa :-)
Yes, it was popularly known as Cape Town Fringes. Fantastic number. Saw the man play -- a medley -- in Santa Barbara, CA, in 1983. Was born same year as my late older brother. Lost my copy of the LP. Thank you very much for posting Mannenburg..
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I remember this song as being called "Cape Town Fringe", from back in the late 70s, early 80s. Lost the vinyl copy and have been looking for the full version for some time now. A treasured find!
Basil Coetzee! Playing simply one of the greatest tenor saxophone solos of all times! Yes indeed!

I bought the album, Capetown Fringe, in New York at Chiarascuro Records in the early 70's. I wish it was on CD. Beautiful timeless music...
