THE BIG ISSUE #298 is now available from your favourite vendor across Cape Town. And anyone outside of Cape Town can buy the magazine at selected Spar and PicknPay stores.

‘Semigration – Making A Move’ is one focus, but as always, there’s lots to read in The Big Issue #298.  So here are a few of the topics covered.

If you’re not leaving the country, where are you moving to within its borders? Semigration is big news, and Cape Town, a popular destination, is already under pressure.
Research shows that in the next year Cape Town can expect a greater influx of migrants relocating from elsewhere inside our borders. So, what does that mean for our already cramped, under-services overpopulated city?

We delve into how consumers are being misled, particularly during the pandemic, with consumer journalist Wendy Knowler. Plus get a host of resources that you can use to protect yourself.
Championing the causes of downtrodden consumers and pursuing captains of industry, Wendy Knowler takes literal aim when only honest answers will do.
