The Big Issue #237 is on sale from vendors in Cape Town from November 24, 2015 to January 5, 2016. It costs R30 (R10 more than usual), but it’s thicker and comes with a supplementary guide to central Cape Town.
It’s a great Christmas stocking-filler and an even better read. And, of course, your chance to give our vendors a much-needed, well-deserved festive-season bonus.
