This misconception was based on the misbelief that the Cape was the dividing point between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans . Contemporary geographic knowledge instead states the southernmost point of Africa is Cape Agulhas about 150 kilometres (90 mi) to the east - southeast . The currents of the two oceans meet at the point where the warm - water Agulhas current meets the cold - water Benguela current and turns back on itself . That oceanic meeting point fluctuates between Cape Agulhas and Cape Point (about 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) east of the Cape of Good Hope). </P>
