Die Overstrand munisipaliteit het blykbaar 'n ondersoek geloods na wie glo die inligting oor die reuse bedrag skuld wat hulle skynbaar wil afskryf, aan die Overstrand Herald "gelek" het. Gaan lees wat ons redakteur daarvan d**k onder die hofie menings by https://overstrandherald.co.za

We simply don’t celebrate fynbos enough 🥀

That’s why we’re teaming up with Kogelberg Biosphere member, the Kleinmond Nature Conservation Society / Natuurbewaringsvereniging, to make this an entire week of fynbos fanfare.

Check out all the details of the Kleinmond Fynbos Festival, from 3 - 11 October, here: https://kogelbergbiosphere.org.za/explore-and-celebrate-nature-at-this-years-kleinmond-fynbos-festival/

Die polisie op Kleinmond het inwoners gewaarsku teen 'n verneukspul op die dorp. 'n Man wat glo beweer dat hy 'n kaptein in die polisie is, kontak glo mense en sê dat hy teen betaling jou sal help om 'n lid van die polisie te word. 'n Polisie woordvoerder het inwoners gewaarsku teen die bedrogspul en gesê die polisie vra mense nie geld om aansoek te doen om lid van die polisie word nie.

Net interessantheidshalwe. Die Overstrand Herald se webtuiste alleen het net in die laaste twee weke (14 dae) tussen 4000 en 5000 besoekers gehad. Dit is mense (nie sosiale media spoke nie). Die aantal bladsye wat besigtig is was meer as 20 000 en die gemiddelde tyd wat die besoekers op die webtuiste deurgebring het was agt minute. Die meeste buitelandse besoekers was van China en dan die VSA. Dis uitstekende syfers vir 'n klein plaaslike dorpskoerant.

Tips for using the new Herald website: https://overstrandherald.co.za

1. NO, you don’t need to register and you don’t have to remember a password. Your email is sufficient. And NO we won’t use your email to send you annoying stuff.

2. You don’t have to pay to read. Most of our content is now free to read. We do have an exclusive section and the e-edition which you pay R15 to get access to. There are no subscriptions, no registrations. You simply pay when you read and if you read. Payment is super easy. We never see or deal with your payment information. Payfast is a bank (registered financial institution) that handles the payment of massive organisations like Takealot etc.

3. We have gamified the site to make it more fun. Just below the dashboard on front page when you open the site, you’ll find our top readers. We use your email, but if you prefer a pseudonym just click on view full leaderboard and fill in a display name. You get points for visiting the site, for reactions – a thumbs up or down, for comments, submitting content etc. It is great fun!

4. Soon we will have our weekly poll up and running, where you can express your opinion on various matters affecting our community.

5. Our new LikeaLocal app is integrated with the site (look for the purple block). This is an amazing tool. Yes, you have to register and it’s a bit of a schlep, but once its done, it’s a breeze. From next week there will be a weekly SPAR voucher for the editor’s pick. R200 for you to spend like you want, for doing what you love – exploring the Overstrand.
