Welcome to www.benonicitytimes.co.za

These bright and shiny multimedia website is designed to be a place for you to catch breaking local news as and when it happens, in text, audio, pictures and video.

Add to it that we will also be bringing you some fascinating national news to this site.

The advantage is that information about local occurrences will be flowing your way at a speed of light.

The site also offers forums for comments on each post, offering you the opportunity to raise your thoughts and views on each and every article.

• Blogs

We also invite residents who would like to get their blogs published on our website to submit them to the Benoni City Times at mailem@caxton.co.za. Blogs should be regular and can be about anything relevant to the community.

• Joke of the day

At the Benoni City Times, we recognise that laughter is the best medicine, so if you think you are funny, now is the time to send the rest of Benoni into an uncontrollable laughter on a daily basis.

Yes, humour is infectious and we want you infect the whole town and let the roaring laughter be the order of the day.

We are looking for hilarious people of your calibre to share jokes on our website.

Every day, we will publish the most hilarious and insane jokes on our website.

Your jokes will be credited to you but should you wish to remain anonymous due to the fear of being laughed at, we will gladly afford you the opportunity.

Laughter is said to be a powerful antidote to stress, pain, and conflict and talk is that the sound of roaring laughter is far more contagious than any cough, sniffle, or sneeze.

So crack a joke and send it to the Benoni City Times at mailem@caxton.co.za.

• Birthdays

As a community based website we recognise the importance birthdays play in your lives and we request you to send your birth dates to the Benoni City Times at mailem@caxton.co.za, a month in advance.

We will be announcing people’s birth dates on our homepage weekly, and if you would like us to announce yours and/or someone’s birthday, you must submit an ID photo, age and name of the person. Please note that only digital photos will be accepted.
