Stuttgart sporting director Fredi Bobic has expressed his delight at his side's preparation for the second half of the season during the winter break.
The majority of Bundesliga sides took their break in either Spain or Turkey this season, with Stuttgart raising a few eyebrows when they opted for a training camp in South Africa instead.
However, Bobic is very happy with the decision and believes that his players can learn from the country's diverse cultures and how they work together.
"We're very happy and glad to have come here as VfB. Ajax Cape Town has provided us with a very good training ground, so we can prepare ourselves perfectly," the Bundesliga's official website quotes Bobic as saying.
"We also want to give our lads something to think about, in so far as the country and football have a real common ground. Just like within a football team, there are a lot of cultures here that work together very well."
Stuttgart currently sit 10th in the Bundesliga table and will restart their season against Mainz on January 25.
