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!

Town of the Year 2012: Sabie

Congratulations to Sabie for winning the 2012 Dorp van die Jaar/Town of the Year competition run by Kwela and Rapport.

Results were tallied and released today, 12 August, revealing 71 902 votes for Sabie while St Lucia came in second-to-last with 8006 votes.  The full outcome is as follows:

Sabie: 71 902
Lady Grey: 64 677
Prins Albert: 62 759
Clarens: 49 184
Walvisbaai: 47 643

While it is unfortunate that St Lucia is, once again, unable to 'wear the badge' of SA's Town of the Year, there's always next year to try again.
