Dear loyal readers and advertisers of Ridge Times and Standerton Advertiser, to ensure Caxton continues to comply with the strict audits procedures of the Audit Bureau of Circulations of South Africa (ABC), Caxton has decided to combine the two weekly printed newspapers under one masthead.

This means that, from this week, one newspaper will be distributed under the Ridge Times masthead, incorporating the Standerton Advertiser.

This single edition will include quality editorial content and advertisements from both the Govan Mbeki municipal area and the Lekwa municipal area, and it will also be available on the website, www.ridgetimes.co.za.

However, the Ridge Times and Standerton Advertiser Facebook pages will continue to operate separately.

Our weekly distribution will remain unchanged: 35 000 copies will be distributed to homes in the Govan Mbeki municipal area, and 5 000 copies will be delivered in bulk to various outlets in Standerton.

At Caxton, every story is written by humans. We use AI only to perform quality checks - never to generate the news. Happy reading!
