Welcome!

We thought it was time for St. Lucians and other stakeholders to come, work and move forward together. But in order to do that, we all need to know what is actually happening in St. Lucia. So we are here to provide a service to the St. Lucia community, by providing up to date, relevant and objective news and information about St. Lucia Estuary, South Africa.

If anything happens in St. Lucia , many stories start to go around. We hope, through professional journalism, to separate fact from fiction, to bring you the objective truth without choosing sides. That is what journalism is all about. If you've heard anything and want to know what really happened, send us an email (TamlynHead@gmail.com) and we'll investigate what's actually going on, and provide our findings in an objective manner on this site. Make sure you subscribe to this blog by leaving your email address on the right of this page, so whenever a new news item is published, you get to know about it.

As an additional service, we offer a business directory, an agenda of activities organised in St. Lucia, as well as an up to date listing of employment and housing opportunities.

In other words, if you wanna know what's really happening in St. Lucia, this is the place to look at!

How we work

Hi there, we are Nick van de Wiel and Tamlyn Head. We are both relatively new to town, so don't have a history or background, and therefore feel able to provide you with objective news and information about the town, its inhabitants and other stakeholders. This is how we work: Nick will do the more technical aspects of building and running this site, while Tamlyn will do the more investigative work and do most of the actual publishing.
   First of all: We don't do politics, we aim to offer factual news. As a professional journalist by training (London School of Journalism, United Kingdom), Tamlyn will source stories herself and publish those. However, we are keen to receive 'tips' from you. So if you want to know why there is a power cut, why there is no water, what actually happened on this and this location on this and this date, send her an email at TamlynHead@gmail.com and she'll look into the matter and publish her findings on this site as soon as possible.
   By providing factual and objective news we hope to separate fact from fiction, to smother gossip and to bring St. Lucians and other stakeholders closer together. It is only through co-operation that we can make St. Lucia the nicest, safest and most popular tourist destination of Southern Africa. We have the potential, we just got to make it work, together...

   Other services we offer include a free business directory, an agenda of activities organised in St. Lucia, as well as an up to date listing of employment and housing opportunities. You have a position available? Organised an activity? Have something for sale perhaps? Looking for a room/house to rent? Let us know! We will publish it free of charge. Wanna be listed in our business directory? Same story: Send us an email.

With best regards, at your service,

Nick and Tamlyn
