29 December 2023:

 

St. Francis Bay, Eastern Cape – Issue Seven of the local magazine Wildside Times is free from various outlets. You can find your copy at the SUPERSPAR Village Square in St Francis Bay, The Bakery in the old village, and Blue Bottle Store. 

Alternatively, you can read it online at issuu.com

In a time when print media is dying a slow death that seems to be picking up speed, Wildside Times still offers a print version of their magazine to be read over your morning coffee or in the afternoon when you are planning your jols. There is a schedule of all the Kouga Region events, interviews and look-backs, stories and reports on the local area, and all that will happen in the new year.

The Shipwreck Museum, Cape St Francis

As a world-famous surfing destination, St Francis has so much to offer. With the demise of all surfing print mags in the country (goodbye Zigzag and BoardTalk), we decided to run a cover photo of local Seal Point surfer Rory Dace during his impressive double win at the Rip Curl Grom Search in Seal Point earlier this year. East London photographer Louis Wulff took an excellent photo. 

Other articles in the mag include:

St Francis Bay – A Treasure Trove of Unique Experiences.

The World’s Largest Man-Made Urban Forest

One of the most surprising facts about Johannesburg is its status as a “green” city. When the first settlers arrived, the Highveld was a barren, treeless grassland (savannah). To support the mining industry, millions of trees were imported and planted to provide timber for mine underground supports. Fast forward to the present day, and Johannesburg is widely considered the largest man-made urban forest in the world.

There are an estimated 10 million trees within the city limits. This includes 1.2 million trees on sidewalks and in parks, and over 4.8 million in private gardens. This forest is so dense that satellite images of the northern suburbs often resemble a tropical rainforest. The most iconic of these trees is the Jacaranda, which was imported from South America in the early 20th century. Every October and November, the city turns a vibrant shade of purple as thousands of Jacarandas bloom simultaneously. However, this “forest” also highlights the city’s historical inequality; during the Apartheid era, trees were predominantly planted in wealthy white suburbs, leaving townships like Soweto as dusty plains. In the last two decades, “Greening Soweto” initiatives have seen hundreds of thousands of trees planted to bridge this “green divide,” emphasizing the role of urban forestry in social justice and climate cooling.
