Welcome to the Gauteng hub on Village Gazette. Here you’ll find the freshest headlines, traffic alerts, weather forecasts and community stories that matter to you. Whether you live in Johannesburg, Pretoria or the surrounding townships, this page pulls together everything you need to stay in the loop.
Every day brings new developments – from city council decisions on public transport to school events and local business openings. Our editors sift through dozens of reports to bring you the most relevant pieces, so you don’t have to waste time scrolling through endless feeds.
For example, the latest transport plan aims to add 200 new bus routes across the metro. The proposal promises shorter commute times and lower fares, which could change daily life for thousands of commuters. We break down what the plan means for you, the expected timeline and how you can share your feedback.
Gauteng isn’t just a province; it’s the economic engine of South Africa. That means a lot of the national news starts here – job market shifts, tech startups, and cultural festivals. Our tag page gathers these stories so you can see how big‑picture trends affect your neighbourhood.
Take the recent tech incubator opening in Sandton. It’s expected to create 3,000 jobs over the next three years and draw international investors. We’ve talked to the founders, visited the site, and explained how locals can apply for the new opportunities.
Safety updates are another key part of the Gauteng feed. When a new crime‑prevention program rolls out in certain suburbs, we provide the details, including where the patrols will be and how residents can get involved. Knowing the facts helps you feel more secure and lets you take action.
Sports fans also get a dedicated slice of the page. From the latest rugby matches at Loftus Versfeld to community soccer leagues in Soweto, we highlight scores, upcoming fixtures and any ticket deals. If you’re looking for a weekend game to watch, this is the spot.
Culture thrives here, too. The annual Arts Festival in Maboneng draws artists from across the continent. We give you a quick guide to the must‑see exhibitions, performance times, and where to find the best food trucks.
Got a question about your local utility bill or need to know the next council meeting date? Use the search bar at the top of the page to find specific articles. Our tagging system makes it easy to filter by topic – just click “Gauteng” and watch the relevant posts appear.
