YOUR FAVOURITE FEATURES WILL BE BACK NEXT WEEK

It’s O-Week, and by the end of this weekend, 1 800 new firstyear students are expected to have registered for their three-year, four-year or longer contract with Rhodes University, our town, and their own futures.

We think this is our best O-Week supplement yet.

• Sim Kyazze’s bird’s eyeview of national and international politics, Fly AroundtheWorld

• Someleze Mgcuwa’s informative column on indigenous plants that contribute to South Africa’s biodiversity health, Localand Lovely
