Anti-apartheid activist Dr Barney Pityana condemns South Africa’s anti-migrant violence and challenges the silence surrounding growing xenophobia. Sentinel Homes managing director Renier Kriek examines whether the upcoming local government elections could influence where South Africans choose to buy property, as service delivery becomes an increasingly important consideration for homebuyers. UJ’s Professor Innocent Musonda warns that SA’s construction industry faces a costly digital wake-up call, with businesses under pressure to modernise or risk falling behind. And Main Library Friends chair Graham Taylor exposes the neglect of Gqeberha’s Route 67 heritage attraction and the tourism opportunities being squandered as a result.
