Profiting from plastic pollution
April 26, 2019No Easy Road to Freedom
On April 27 South Africa will mark 25 years since its first democratic election. Greg Ardé was a reporter in KwaZulu-Natal on that heady day and witnessed Nelson Mandela casting his vote. He reflects now on the difficult journey the country has travelled.
The weather in South Africa’s major cities on Saturday, April 27 is expected to be a mild 20 degrees Celsius. For the middle classes, it will be a good day to kick back, relax and maybe do a spot of shopping.
For the poor, in a country with the world’s highest Gini coefficient, (measuring the gap between the haves and the have nots), Freedom Day presents a similar opportunity to mooch around, sans the shopping.
