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 topics 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.
