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!

Come On Irina

While the St Lucia Community eagerly awaits Irina's imminent arrival, St Lucia News will be out and about, armed with photographic and video cameras, capturing the effects of the cyclone, during and after the event.  

As of this morning, weathersa.co.za published lower-than-initially-thought wind speeds (now 120km/h), rainfall (now approx. 200mm) and storm surge (now 3-6 metres) for the next five days.  
It's going to be especially interesting to see what impact Irina will have on the possible opening of the St Lucia Estuary Mouth.  Whilst it is almost certain that the storm surge will breach the beach, perhaps the most likely short term effect of the eventual opening of the estuary mouth will be the Umfolozi River breaking into the estuary.
