I love a good Smuts anecdote, he was a fascinating person. I'm near Cape Town and I can confirm that it's also freezing cold here during winter.

You see more people investing in double glazed windows like they do in Europe. I've done this to my house and it works really well against both heat, cold and sound. Combined with an efficient fireplace, you can enjoy a toasty winter in the cold winter evenings.

Is this possible on an existing house? (And will it break the bank?)

EDIT: Okay well of course it should be as this is what you have done already. So, maybe what I am asking is how complicated is the process...

I did it on an existing house. It's very simple and not too expensive. I went for uPVC double glazed windows, doors etc. For a typical 1x1.5m window you'd probably pay around R3500 including installation.
