The Big Issue #272 (20 February to 19 March 2019) is available from your favourite vendor across the city.
Cape of Flames is the lead story in this edition of The Big Issue.
Fires are merciless and spread within minutes. They can never be underestimated. In this issue, we highlight the recent blazes in the Overberg region (page 12) and profile a social enterprise that’s helping to prevent fires in informal settlements (page 16).
Big Issue journalist Lungisa Mnqwazi shares his experiences of living with the constant threat of shack fires in Masiphumelele, near Fish Hoek (page 15); and a big shout-out to CapeNature for allowing us to use its iconic ‘bokkie’ image on our front cover. Who can forget the old ‘bokkie’ poster?
