Vertel ons wat gebeur in jou woonbuurt!
Tell us what is happening in your area!

Afrikaans
Almal het ‘n storie om te vertel! Vertel ons wat in jou woonbuurt, jou voorstad of dorp gebeur. Al die lief en leed, geboortes, sterftes, huwelike, doop – enigiets. Dit maak nie saak wie jy is en waar jy vandaan kom nie – net jy kan JOU storie vertel.

Ons as gemeenskap vertel nie meer stories aan ons kinders nie; ons laat toe dat hulle ander stories op hul selfone lees. In die proses gaan ons plaaslike stories verlore.

Ons is altyd op soek na vrywillige, vryskut- en gasskrywers wat insigte, opinies en inhoud kan deel – so goed nagevors soos dit goed geskryf is (mmm… nou ja, amper – al wat ons regtig wil hê, is dat jy jou storie deel). Rapporteer oor gebeure, vertel ons wat in jou buurt gebeur.

Het jy wenke, truuks en insigte wat jy met ons lesers wil deel? Vertel dit asseblief vir ons.

Voltooi die vorm hieronder nadat jy die riglyne onderaan die vorm gelees het.
Of stuur jou storie per e-pos aan ons by mystory@gardenroute.news.

English
Everybody has a story to tell! Tell us what’s happening in your neighborhood, suburb, or town – the joys and sorrows, births, deaths, weddings, christenings – anything. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from – only you can tell YOUR story.

As a community, we don’t tell our stories to our children anymore; we let them read others’ stories on their cellphones. In the process, our local stories are being lost.

We’re always on the lookout for volunteer, freelance, and guest writers who can share insights, opinions, and content – as well researched as it is well written (well, almost – all we really want is for you to tell your story). Report on events, share what’s happening in your neighborhood.

Got tips, tricks, and insights you’d like to share with our readers? Please, tell us.

Complete the form below after reading the guidelines listed underneath the form.
Or send your story to us via email at mystory@gardenroute.news.

Rules are simple:

  1. Story must be uplifting and not divisive.
  2. No party politics, no racism.
  3. Tell your story of your community. Tell people of George what is happening in your neighborhood.
  4. Verify your information.
  5. Our editors will read it and help you to improve on your writing skills.
