The HIGHVELDER COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER celebrated its Centenary (100 years) in August 2003. Born in 1903 after the town burnt down during the Anglo-Boer War, the Highvelder (or Highveld Herald as it was known back then) had already fostered a close relationship with its community, in making it the people’s newspaper. It maintained its close relationship with its readers through the wide range of topic

s and information it shared at that time - from sharing "ouma se melktertresepte", highlighting the visit by King George and Queen Elizabeth to focusing on the achievements of learners at school-level. When one considers that a 100 years ago the newspaper was sold for a penny, and had an unbelievable circulation of 160 per week, as apposed to its current weekly free distribution of 12 000, it is clear why the Highvelder has secured a close relationship with its community, who will ensure that its future is preserved for generations to come.

WATER OUTAGE Residents in several areas continue to be affected by the planned municipal water outage. Despite the initial deadline having passed, numerous households still don't have water. According to the Msukaligwa Municipality's latest update, they are aware that several areas are still affected and said they await the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) to open water to the affected areas. They further stated that first, DWS is "charging" and filling reservoirs for Camden and Kriel Power Stations. Thereafter, it will "consider" opening water for the municipality. List your streets if you don't have water and tell us how this has affected you.

Lowveld Media wishes all the best to its readers, subscribers and advertisers for 2024.

Our Story

The HIGHVELDER celebrated its centenary (100 years) in August 2003. Born in 1903 after the town burnt down during the Anglo-Boer War, the Highvelder (or Highveld Herald as it was previously known) had already fostered a close relationship with its community in making it the PEOPLE’S newspaper... It maintained a close relationship with its readers through a wide range of topics and information it shared at that time... from sharing "Ouma se melktertresepte" to highlighting the visit by King George and Queen Elizabeth to focusing on the record achievements of students in our local schools, both extramural and academically. When one considers that a 100 years ago the newspaper was sold for a penny, and had an unbelievable circulation of 160 per week, as apposed to its current weekly free distribution of 18 000, it is clear that the Highvelder has secured a close relationship with its community, who will ensure that its future is preserved for generations to come.
