Good News!

We are ready to go live – our email service is to be reinstated!

www.sagoodnews.co.za is now 12 years old. A re-design is long overdue – and for the past two months we have been working hard at this.

Our email service has been erratic – Graphic Mail was bought by Sharpspring and the service slipped. We will now use Campaign Monitor who we hope will provide a great service. We also feel that we need to “up our game” on Social Media.

We are extremely fortunate to have 15 000 Facebook followers and we look forward to interacting with you on a daily basis. We hope, too, that our increased activity will have our users sharing and liking our posts! We have also improved our mobile look and feel.

www.sagoodnews.co.za vision remains the promotion of an informed and balanced narrative about our country.

There are many untold stories of South African successes and the incredible contribution of civil society that are not shared in the daily print media, television broadcasts or radio talk shows. It is our mission to spread these stories!

There are many hard facts about South Africa’s prowess that we simply don’t know – it is our mission to expose these!

Mzansi Zen; beautiful book about a wonderful country.​

Mzansi Zen completes the Trilogy of Anthony Osler’s Zen series: Mzansi Zen, Stoep Zen and Zen Dust. For anyone who enjoys a beautifully written, calming narrative of everyday life in South Africa Mzansi Zen is a compelling read.

But, it is more than that – it challenges, confronts even, what the reader might think is the good and bad of everyday life in South Africa. In a disarming way Anthony’s writings provide fresh insights into what we often think is the ‘truth’ only to find that we have been seduced by ‘conventional wisdom madness’.
