Education/School Closures – Crisis
Dear Sir, A fundamental basic necessity in any community, in fact country, is education. In a developing country such as ours, it is essential that education for the youth be provided. In the Eastern Cape we endure reluctantly a dysfunctional Education Department.

Recyle Cans, Paper, Glass and Plastic in ONE Spot

Although, it is a great stress reliever to SMASH those bottles which could be why people complain. working in conjunction with Nampak Recycling, the Summerstrand Total Garage in Admiralty Way is the first petrol station in Port … [Read more...] about Recyle Cans, Paper, Glass and Plastic in ONE Spot
