Who says?
Some scientists indicate that there are between 17 and 20 species of penguin, and while all live south of the equator, they do exist on more continents than Antarctica. For instance, the Galapagos Penguin lives on the Galapagos Islands.

∙ 14y agoThere are quite a few Penguins in Cape Town...one spot in particular, "Boulder's Beach" near Simons Town.
Also, Robben Island (in Table Bay - a few miles from the Cape shore) is pilferated with bird life. Endemic to this area are sea birds, penguins, gulls and more...
Cape Town (and the Cape) would seem to be the place to find penguins in South Africa.
