Alicia English reflects on 50 years of Mitchells Plain, in this week's episode of Crossing The Line with Ryland Fisher. Dr English grew up in Rocklands, Mitchells Plain, and now lives in Portlands. “One of the best things for me about growing up in Mitchells Plain was the sense of community. “The people of Mitchells Plain made such an incredible contribution to where we are as a country, but we’ve also made contributions to so many industries. We have musicians, artists, academics, journalists, people that we looked up to from Mitchells Plain.
