Congratulations to you all

Thu, 5 Jan, 2012

As anyone who has ever written matric would know, getting six distinctions is impossible. Yet in spite of this incontrovertible fact, several local pupils have achieved the impossible, five pupils in Grahamstown schools have even gone so far as to reach way beyond impossible and achieve eight distinctions.

The ANC's fall from grace

Thu, 24 Nov, 2011

 

The ANC's decision to steamroll the Protection of Information Bill through the National Assembly earlier this week was disgraceful and an insult to all South Africans.

No sleepy hollow

Thu, 27 Oct, 2011

What an incredibly busy weekend we have ahead of us. Anyone who describes this town as a "sleepy hollow" will definitely have to revise her point of view – at least for this weekend. Take a look at the What’s On section on page 19 and you will be astonished at the wide variety of events taking place in the Makana municipal area over the next few days.

How do we observe 200 years of Grahamstown?

Mon, 24 Oct, 2011

Grahamstown is not a boring town according to the national tedium meter. It can be criticised for a whole assortment of reasons – and this newspaper often takes on the responsibility of doing the criticising – but this town is not dreary. In fact, we can safely say that compared to other urban centres in this country, Grahamstown packs more pounds of passion punch than any other place.

Don't use our name in vain

Thu, 20 Oct, 2011

A young woman walks into a local shop to buy a widget or two. There is a customer ahead of her being attended to by a shop assistant, but there are two other employees who don’t appear to be doing anything particularly urgent. One is packing boxes on to a shelf and the other is chatting on a cellphone.
The young woman is in a hurry and anxious to get her widgets and move on - but everything and everyone around her seems to be moving in slow motion.
