Mooivaal Media

DID YOU KNOW!
Mooivaal Media’s story began in 1964 as Vaalweekblad.
Over the years, the company underwent a few name changes and officially became Mooivaal Media in 1999.

For many years, Media24 and CTP Limited jointly owned Mooivaal Media — but since 1 April 2023, we are proud to be a division of CTP Limited. Visit www.caxton.co.za for more.

Today, we publish some of the region’s most trusted community newspapers:
🗞️ Ster (North, South, Sedibeng)
🗞️ Parys Gazette
🗞️ Carletonville Herald
🗞️ Potchefstroom Herald – our oldest publication, dating back to 1908
🗞️ Vaalweekblad

More than six decades later, our passion for local news and community connection remains as strong as ever. 💙

💐 We recently bid farewell to our Branch Manager, Thys Foord, as he went on pension. It was with sadness that we said goodbye, but with deep gratitude for the years of dedication and leadership he gave. He will be missed dearly, and we wish him happiness and peace in his retirement.

Na meer as twee dekades van hoogte-en laagtepunte, baie suksesse en lief en leed, moes die MooiVaalspan afskeid neem van hul "Baas Thys".
