Never mind the weather - The latest edition of The EDGE is up on www.edgenews.co.za and ready for your viewing. Printed editions will be on the streets (rivers?) later today. We lead with the wonderful launch of Sedgefield's new 'En Route Arts Festival' - and there's a double page spread of the program in the centre pages - with acts coming from all over South Africa to entertain you, then we discuss the just approved Municipal budget , and why it's causing such frustration (25% increase in refuse tariffs, to start!), plus details of the Green Fine (read estuary pollution etc etc). And of course, all the other wonderful things that make Sedgefield the wonderful town it is! ENJOY.
