Within the next five years, 60% of the world’s population will be living in urban areas. Urban living comes with large-scale economic advantages and society benefits from economies of scale. But, COVID-19 is challenging urban living. We have introduced the term ‘social distancing’ and some policy analysts have even argued for the de-densification of cities.
Join us for a discussion where our panellists will analyse this perceived conflict.

Four empowering workshops were recently held at the Qwaqwa Campus of the University of the Free State as part of the Women’s Week programme. These grooming sessions taught women about the steps on how to package themselves for maximum impact in the workplace, their responsibilities towards effective communication, good people skills, and their roles and responsibilities in their jobs. In total, 81 women attended these grooming sessions presented by Ms Lianne Smuts from 1st Solutions. At the workshops were, from the left: Ms Margy Motsei (Secretary: Student Affairs), Dr Elize Smuts (Staff Development Facilitator), Ms Smuts and Ms Esther Hlongwane (Secretary: Accommodation Services).
