A fortnightly community newspaper for South African retirees and active seniors
Letters, club listings and classifieds notices all arrive at one address. Use it for post, and use the form on this page for anything you would rather send by email.
The address below is a contact and postal address for the paper, not a counter where readers drop in. If you are sending a listing for the events diary, a note for the classifieds board or a letter for the letters page, the postal route works the same way as the form: it reaches the editorial team, and nothing is published until the details have been checked against the issue it is meant for.
For a listing, it helps to include the town or suburb, the name of the club or group, and the day and time it meets. Recipes and obituary notices are read the same way, with the original wording kept where it can be. If a submission is held back for a later issue, that is usually a question of space rather than anything wrong with the piece.
The paper is put together in Johannesburg, and the local editions reach readers in Durban, Pretoria, Cape Town and smaller towns across the provinces. The map below marks the Johannesburg area where the postal address sits.
Coordinates shown: 27.97 to 28.12 east, 26.18 to 26.06 south. The marker covers the wider area, not a single building.
The form below is the way readers and community groups reach the editorial desk. Use it for a letter to the letters page, a club or event listing, a recipe for the swap column, a classifieds notice, or an obituary. If you are unsure where an item belongs, pick the closest match and we will place it in the right section.
A few details help more than you might expect. Note the town or suburb, the name of the club or group, and the day and time a meeting usually runs. For a classifieds notice, say clearly what is offered or wanted. For an obituary, keep the wording as you would like it read.
It sends your submission to the editorial team and then shows a thanks page confirming that the request was received. It does not create an account, a subscription, a booking or a payment, and it does not schedule a reply.

Letters for the letters page, listings for the classifieds board, event notices, recipe submissions and general questions about the fortnightly print run or the weekly email digest all arrive through the same place. If you are writing on behalf of a club or community group, it helps to include the town or suburb, the name of the group, and the day and time you usually meet, so the item can be placed in the right local edition.
The form on this page records a normal request and then shows a thanks page confirming technical receipt only. It does not open an account, start a subscription, hold a booking or take a payment. Editorial decisions about what appears in print or in the digest are made separately, and submissions may be edited for length and clarity before publication.
The address above is a contact and postal address for the paper.
