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.

As part of a community service project first-year medical students at the University of the Free State (UFS) provided learners from the Sehunelo Secondary School in Bloemfontein with information on needs they identified from the learners during contact sessions that were held at the school. The students presented the information to the learners in the form of an expo on the university's Main Campus. Creative exhibitions by the students covered topics on smoking, abortion, crime, stress, etc. At the exhibition on crime were, from the left: Lucky Chalale, Linda Nyangintsimbi, Yolanda Nomathole and Lady Bridget Akuffo.
