Heraut is from humble beginnings and was established in 1985 when a need for a community newspaper for the residents of Heidelberg and Nigel was established.

Oor die afgelope 31 jaar, het Heraut ‘n onvervangbare deel van elke huishouding in hul verspreidingsgebied geword. Jonk tot oud – almal lees Heraut! Skoolkinders kan nie gou genoeg vir hul maats of ouma hul foto wys nie, of ma raap die koerant weer weg om deur te snuffel vir plaaslike winskopies!

Wednesday is Heraut day, and should a resident not receive his copy on the usual time, they surely let us know!

Heraut journalists do thorough news coverage in Heidelberg as well as Nigel, and editorial space are also set aside for Balfour. News featured for Balfour include coverage of police news, municipal issues, schools as well as community events.

For over 30 years, Heraut has been the voice of their communities, taking pride in both the towns of Heidelberg and Nigel’s achievements.
