- Description
- Some 15 years ago, science writer Leonie Joubert travelled into the desert north of Cape Town to write one of her first stories on climate change: an investigation into the mass die-off of tree aloes, and how this could be the sign that the desert was spreading south towards the beleaguered Mother City. Now, as the United Nations’ global collective of climate scientists issues its most strident warning yet – that we have 12 years in which to bring planetary carbon emissions in check or face run-away climate breakdown – it seems the world might finally be waking up to the fact that nature has been sending out warning flares for decades.

- Nooraan Dreyer and her family were evicted from the home they were renting in Salt River in 2016. She refused to leave her community even though she could no longer afford rent in the area. She and her husband, Achmat Dreyer, decided to buy a wendy-house to install on vacant land a few meters from the place she once called home. The informal settlement is called Under the Bridge and has no water, electricity or sanitation. Dreyer lives there with her husband and son, and she looks after her granddaughter, Amaan Achmat (seen in the video) on a daily basis. Solar panels on the roof provide some light at night and Dreyer collects 100 liters of water each week for cooking and cleaning. She says she is "not ungrateful" for where she lives, but she longs to live in a house again.

- Elizabeth Domingo was born on a pear farm in Ceres. She lives with her siblings and their children in a house on Platvlei Farm, the only home she has ever known. Her grandfather and mother worked the land and as a result the family enjoyed security of tenure for decades. But when Elizabeth’s grandfather and mother passed on, no other member of the family provided labour on the farm and as a result they’re facing eviction. As the country continues the debate on land expropriation without compensation, the rate of farm evictions are not slowing for families who once enjoyed work opportunities and residence on agricultural land.

- Spinning is one of the fastest growing motorsports in South Africa, which involves dangerous car stunts done at high speed on a large pitch until one or more tyres burst. Cleo Quickfall, one of the few female spinners in the country, would love to see the sport grow.
