Exaggerated estimates, incorrect readings and system errors have plagued residents and even though the city is under a new dispensation, it seems little has changed. It’s just over a year since Carte Blanche covered this story. We follow up to find out whether any of the billing disputes featured, have in fact been resolved.

Cosplay is taking South Africa by storm. It’s performance art in which participants wear costumes and fashion accessories to represent specific characters from comic books, cartoons and video games.
