There has been a lot of speculation over the land issue and the whole idea of

The Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS) at UWC will be running a free half-day crash course - aimed at the media outlets, as we are the ones who are reporting on the matter, so that there is a better understanding of the issues at play.

Last week we spoke to Fiona who went to a bridal and evening dress shop at Canal Walk shop was Occasions and paid a R5000 deposit towards a dress for her daughter’s matric farewell. She then discovered that the shop had suddenly closed its doors on February 28 with no warning, not even to the staff.
