2017 Year in Review

2017: A Year in Review

It is that time of year when schools close, businesses shift down a gear and families get ready to spend some quality time together over the festive season.

If you are lucky enough to get some downtime at the end of the year, you might find yourself lying on one of the brilliant beaches KwaZulu-Natal has to offer, driving through a Big Five game reserve or even packing your bags for a trip abroad.

Either way, the December period gives us an opportunity to reflect on the year gone by and what we might want to achieve in the New Year.

With this in mind, Newswatch is reflecting on some of the big stories that had East Coasters talking in 2017.

Whether a local news piece that made national headlines or an international story that grabbed our attention, Newswatch wants to take you on a short trip down memory lane.

The first piece in our 2017 Year in Review series looks at the first snowfalls in KwaZulu-Natal for the year.

Other popular features so far include the account given by a motorist who was hijacked in Westville North and the removal of a black mamba from a woman's bedroom cupboard, also in Westville.
