Show Notes
Editor Barbara October joined Lester Kiewit to highlight three of GroundUp’s feature stories this week, starting in Ravensmead where backyard dwellers say they are being overlooked in the City of Cape Town’s latest housing project, raising concerns about fairness in allocation. The conversation then turned to the case of Juma Igiranieza, with the police torture matter provisionally withdrawn after the court failed to secure a Kinyarwanda interpreter, delaying justice once again. The final story took listeners to Lesotho’s Kome Caves, where families continue to live in historic sandstone dwellings, balancing cultural heritage with the realities of limited services and economic opportunity.
