Highlands News...

Abdullah Vaid and Jacques Loots, both from Dullstroom, are fired up about the newspaper they're starting for the Emakhazeni region. It'll have a major focus on tourism in this area.
 
While they'll cover Dullstroom, Belfast, Machadodorp, Waterval-Boven and the Elands Valley Conservancy, they're particularly interested in the Maputo corridor, or N4. This is the highway between Gauteng and Nelspruit, Kruger Park and Maputo.
 
Jacques says the paper's going to come out every two weeks, on a Friday. "We're working hard on getting the first edition out by next Friday, 13 June," he said.
 
The Emakhazeni region lacks a quality publication that comprehensively covers the entire region and has a strong focus on tourism.  
 
If you have story ideas or want to advertise, here's their contact details: highlandsn@gmail.com
Abdullah: 074 101 5283
Jacques: 073 681 6553
 
These are exciting times....
