In our increasingly digital world, where personal information is stored online and cyber threats are constantly evolving, the need for strong passwords has never been more critical. Whether it’s protecting your social media accounts, financial data, or confidential work information, a strong password acts as a vital defense mechanism against malicious hackers and unauthorized access. In this blog post, we will explore why strong passwords are a necessity and provide practical tips for creating and managing them effectively.Protection Against Unauthorized Access:
One of the primary reasons why strong passwords are necessary is to safeguard our personal information and digital assets from unauthorized access. Weak passwords are easy targets for hackers who use automated tools to guess or crack them. A strong password significantly reduces the risk of brute-force attacks and prevents unauthorized individuals from infiltrating our accounts and stealing sensitive data.Shielding Against Credential Stuffing:
Credential stuffing is a technique employed by cyber-criminals who exploit the tendency of users to reuse passwords across multiple platforms. They obtain login credentials from one compromised source and attempt to use them on other websites or applications. By using unique, strong passwords for each account, we create a robust defense against this method, ensuring that a breach on one platform doesn’t compromise our entire digital presence.Mitigating the Impact of Data Breaches:
Data breaches have become alarmingly common, exposing vast amounts of personal information and passwords. Strong passwords play a crucial role in minimizing the impact of such breaches. By using complex passwords that are resistant to cracking, even if a password hash is compromised, it becomes extremely challenging for hackers to decipher it and gain access to our accounts.Protection from Brute-Force Attacks:
Brute-force attacks involve systematically attempting various password combinations until the correct one is discovered. Strong passwords with a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters create a complex and unpredictable combination, making it highly impractical for hackers to succeed through brute force alone.Safeguarding Financial and Personal Information:
The rise of online banking, e-commerce, and digital payment systems has made securing financial and personal information more critical than ever before. Strong passwords serve as the first line of defense in protecting our financial assets and sensitive personal details. By creating unique, robust passwords, we enhance the security of these accounts and significantly reduce the risk of financial fraud and identity theft.Tips for Creating Strong Passwords:a. Length Matters: Opt for passwords with a minimum length of 12 characters. The longer, the better.b. Complexity is Key: Include a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.c. Avoid Predictability: Stay away from easily guessable information such as birthdates, names, or common words.d. Unique Passwords for Each Account: Never reuse passwords across multiple platforms. Use a password manager if necessary.e. Regularly Update Your Passwords: Change passwords periodically, especially after a data breach or suspected unauthorized access.In a digital landscape riddled with cyber threats, strong passwords are an essential line of defense. By investing time and effort into creating unique and robust passwords, we significantly enhance our online security, protect our personal information, and mitigate the risks associated with unauthorized access and data breaches. Remember, a strong password acts as a formidable barrier, and its importance cannot be overstated in today’s interconnected world.
Issued George Municipality, 9 May 2023George Municipality has since last year reviewed a number of existing and/or drafted new by-laws for a number of directorates. The by-laws allow for an individual municipality to regulate the affairs and the services it provides within its area of jurisdiction. The details of by-laws can differ from one municipality to another, and the public is always advised to check their local municipal by-laws which can be found on the relevant municipal website www.george.gov.za.Public ParticipationAll of the By-laws have been workshopped with Council to provide all Councillors an opportunity for inputs. A public participation process is then followed which allows members of the public to provide their comments and input. Once the input has been received from the public and addressed, the final by-law then goes back to Council for approval. A municipal by-law may be enforced only after it has been published in the official gazette of the Western Cape Province on request of the local municipality. The promulgated by-law is then uploaded to the municipal website for easy access by the public. Transgression of a by -law is treated the same as a normal law, if you break a by-law, you can be fined or prosecuted. Most transgressions are handled in the George Municipal Court.STATUS OF BY-LAWS BEING REVIEWED *CIVIL ENGINEERING SERVICES*NEW Public Transport, Civil Engineering Services Directorate – Open for comment until 12 June 2023 Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places By-law, Civil Engineering Services Directorate – Open for comment until 12 June 2023Water and Sanitation Services By-law, Civil Engineering Services Directorate – Open for comment until 12 June 2023NEW Stormwater By-law, Civil Engineering Services Directorate – Open for comment until 12 June 2023Water Services By-law (Restrict the use of Water), Civil Engineering Services Directorate – Open for comment until 12 June 2023https://www.george.gov.za/george-doc-categories/documents/bylaws-and-regulations/civil-engineering-services/*PUBLIC PARTICIPATION DETAILS for CIVIL ENGINEERING SERVICES *Written comments to the intention of the Municipality as outlined above, if any, must be lodged: via mail to reach the Director: Civil Engineering Services, P.O.

Several by-laws are available at the George Municipality for public participation, and the significance of involving the public cannot be emphasized enough. Please refer to the list of by-laws that the George Municipality is currently revising at the end of this article. It is essential that we, as members of the public, engage in these processes instead of merely criticizing them from the sidelines once they are completed.Contact the Municipality to find out how you can participate.Public participation is a critical aspect of the bylaw-making process, as it ensures that the voices and opinions of the public are taken into account when developing laws and regulations that affect them. Bylaws are rules or regulations that are put in place by a governing body to control or regulate certain aspects of society, such as building codes, zoning laws, and public health and safety regulations. Bylaws can have a significant impact on individuals and communities, and it is therefore essential that the public has the opportunity to participate in the development of these laws.One of the key benefits of public participation in the bylaw-making process is that it promotes transparency and accountability. When members of the public have the opportunity to participate in the development of bylaws, they can provide valuable input and feedback that can help shape the laws and ensure that they are fair and reasonable. This can help to build trust between the government and the public, and can also increase the likelihood that the laws will be respected and followed.Public participation can also help to identify potential unintended consequences of proposed bylaws. Members of the public who are directly affected by the proposed laws may be able to point out issues or challenges that were not initially considered by the governing body. This can help to prevent unintended negative consequences of the bylaws and ensure that they are effective in achieving their intended goals.Furthermore, public participation can help to build consensus around proposed bylaws. When members of the public have the opportunity to participate in the development of bylaws, they are more likely to feel invested in the laws and more likely to support them. This can help to build a sense of community ownership and can also make it easier for the government to enforce the laws, as members of the public are more likely to comply with laws that they had a hand in creating.There are many different ways that the public can participate in the bylaw-making process. These may include public hearings, open forums, surveys, and other forms of engagement. It is important for the governing body to provide multiple opportunities for public participation and to ensure that the process is inclusive and accessible to all members of the community.In conclusion, public participation is a critical component of the bylaw-making process. It promotes transparency, accountability, and community ownership, and helps to ensure that laws are fair, effective, and supported by the public. It is essential that the government provides ample opportunities for public participation before bylaws are promulgated, in order to ensure that the laws are responsive to the needs and concerns of the community.GM-DRAFT_BUILDING-CONTROL-BYLAW-1GM DRAFT Amended By-law on Impounding of AnimalsGM DRAFT Amended By-law on Liquor tradingGM DRAFT Amended By-law on GEORGE MUNICIPALITY PUBLIC NUISANCES BY-LAW 20230329GM DRAFT Amended By-law on Cemetries and crematoria By Law 29032023GM DRAFT Amended By-law on Air Quality Management By-law 20230329Draft George Municipality ByLaw on ElectricityGM DRAFT By-law Streets Sidewalks and Public PlacesGM Draft By-Law StormwaterGM DRAFT Amended By-law on Regulating of the Keeping of Dogs and Cats and other Animals finalGM DRAFT Amended By-law on Public Amenities
Writing a news article for a community newspaper like LoveGeorgeNEWS requires careful consideration of the needs and interests of your local community. Here are some steps to help you write an effective news article for a community newspaper:
Choose a Relevant Topic: Select a topic that is relevant and interesting to your local community. This could be a local event, a community issue, an environmental issue, a human interest story, or an accomplishment of a local individual or organization.
Do Your Research: Gather accurate and reliable information about the topic. Interview key stakeholders, gather facts, data, and quotes from reliable sources. Make sure to verify the information to ensure its accuracy.
Follow the Inverted Pyramid Structure: Start your article with a compelling lead that summarizes the main point of the story in the first paragraph. Follow with supporting details in subsequent paragraphs, arranged in descending order of importance. This is known as the inverted pyramid structure, where the most important information comes first, followed by less important details.
Use Clear and Concise Language: Write in simple, easy-to-understand language that is accessible to the community readership. Avoid jargon or technical terms that may be unfamiliar to the general audience. Keep sentences and paragraphs short and to the point. For LoveGeorgeNEWS it can be in either English or Afrikaans.
Include Quotes: Incorporate quotes from key sources to add credibility and authenticity to your article. Use direct quotes to provide different perspectives and opinions, and attribute them to the appropriate sources.
Provide Context: Provide background information and context to help readers understand the relevance of the topic to the community. Explain why the topic matters and how it impacts the local community.
Be Balanced and Objective: Present a balanced and objective account of the topic, avoiding bias or opinion. Provide a fair and comprehensive representation of different viewpoints, if applicable.
Edit and Revise: Review your article for accuracy, clarity, and coherence. Edit and revise as needed to ensure that the article is well-written, error-free, and engaging to readers.
Include Relevant Visuals: Consider including relevant visuals such as photographs, infographics, or charts to enhance the reader’s understanding of the topic.
Follow Newspaper Guidelines: Familiarize yourself with the specific guidelines of the community newspaper you are writing for, such as word count, formatting, and submission requirements. Adhere to these guidelines to ensure that your article meets the newspaper’s standards.
By following these steps, you can write a compelling and informative news article that resonates with the local community and effectively communicates the news or information you want to convey. Remember to be professional, accurate, and objective in your writing, and always double-check your facts and sources to maintain the integrity of your article. Happy writing!

It’s story time at George LibrariesGeorge libraries are looking forward to celebrating library week from the 20th until the 26th of March 2023. The theme for this year is Libraries – telling powerful stories.The art of storytelling is as old as humankind itself. Irrespective of the type of story, whether it is fiction, biographical, dramatic, poetic, oral or in writing, each one of us has a story to tell. These stories transfer knowledge and traditions, put the spotlight on unsung heroes, and uplift, educate and inspire people. Since the days gone by, libraries have been central in collecting, preserving, storing, promoting, and encouraging millions of people to become aware of and enjoy these stories with the aim to understand how other people think, operate and live.The 4IR has shifted the landscape and how we tell these stories which have contributed to global knowledge, memory, and communication. Despite the challenges that libraries are facing, libraries have persevered and continue to add to the good stories that they tell. George Libraries are opening its doors for a week of fun and laughter, drama and entertainment, as we invite all our communities to enjoy Library Week with us. Our library staff understand the power and effect stories have and plays in the lives of people.George Library has already made plans to visit and share powerful stories at the following venues:Below is the itinerary for George Public Library:

George Mayor, Ald Leon van Wyk with Ald Bazil Petrus, Portfolio Councillor for Human Settlements and John Laws, Construction Manager: Ruwacon Construction Pty LTD on-site at the Metro Housing project earlier this week. Mayor van Wyk said he is glad to see the good progress being made with the houses up until now and that beneficiaries on the list include disabled people and the elderly.Ald Petrus said the fact that, as soon as the Western Cape Ministry of Infrastructure gives the go-ahead, we can hand over homes to people, is gratifying. He said the progress with the rest of the houses is also coming along quickly and those homes will be ready to be handed over in the next phase.
Writing a newspaper article requires a specific format and structure. Here are the steps to follow:
Choose a newsworthy topic: Select a topic that is timely, relevant, and of interest to your target audience. It could be a breaking news story or a feature article on a local event.
Research and gather information: Conduct thorough research to gather all the necessary information about the topic. Interview experts or eyewitnesses, read other articles, and gather data to support your story.
One of the best practices for writers is to follow “The 5Ws” guideline, by investigating the Who, What, Where, When and Why of a story. If you can’t identify what makes your story unique and interesting, chances are nobody else will either. Who is driving the story?Who is it about?
Determine your angle: Decide on the angle or perspective from which you will write the article. This will help you organize your information and present it in a compelling way.
Write a catchy headline: The headline should grab the reader’s attention and accurately reflect the content of the article.
Write the lead: The lead is the first paragraph of the article and should summarize the most important information in a clear and concise way. It should answer the questions: who, what, when, where, why, and how.
Write the body: The body of the article should provide more detail and context about the topic. Use quotes, facts, and statistics to support your points and make the article more engaging.
Include a conclusion: The conclusion should tie everything together and provide a final thought or call to action.
Edit and proofread: Review the article for spelling and grammar errors, and make sure all the information is accurate and presented in a clear and concise manner.
Submit your article: Once you are satisfied with your article, submit it to the appropriate newspaper or publication.
Remember to follow the publication’s guidelines and editorial policies when submitting your article. Good luck!
George Municipality’s Thusong outreach to the Blanco community with key sector departments was very well received and more outreaches will be rolled out once a month to other communities in the George jurisdiction.Last week, the George Municipality together with key sector departments, as well as businesses kicked off their planned Thusong Service outreach to raise awareness of the integrated services available to communities at their doorstep. It took place in the Blanco Community Hall.The George Municipality Community Development section, the George Municipality Youth Development subsection, the George Municipality Thusong Programme, the Department of Home Affairs, the Department Employment and Labour, IEC, SEDA, the Department of Social Development, SARS and Cell C attended the outreach.Willbedine Jordaan, Coordinator of the George Municipal HIV/Aids Office assists members of the public at the outreach.The stakeholders supplied the community in Blanco with important government information and services. The Government Communication and Information System Department (GGCIS) provided the necessary communication support, through mobilisation, profiling the campaign and getting key sector departments to participate. The Thusong outreach assisted 136 community members from rural Blanco.According to Adam Lewie from Waboomskraal Thusong Centre who was involved with the outreach, community members who attended the outreach were excited for the opportunities they were exposed to that can lead to jobs, an economic boost and further education and training opportunities. The Department of Employment and Labour officials registered unemployed people attending, for job opportunities when it becomes available.The IEC registered members of the Blanco community on the voters’ roll.Cell C presented self-employment opportunities to the community involving Rica and the selling of airtime and data.SEDA presented their non-financial business skills training, while the IEC registered community members on the voters’ roll. Home Affairs assisted with identity and birth certificate applications, while GCIS distributed information on various important issues like anti-corruption campaigns, gender-based violence, vaccination boosters, cervical cancer and much more. They also spoke to the community members about the topics.The Youth Development office spoke to the youth on how the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) can assist young people with non-financial and financial support to start their own small businesses, the SA Youth Mobi, where young people can register their CV’s without using data, for possible work opportunities. They were also informed of how to use the system to apply for bursaries and to further their education.Dates for the next Thusong Outreach is 10 March at New Dawn Park Hall, 14 April at Thembalethu Hall, 12 May at Outeniqua Primary School, 9 June at Thembalethu Zone 9 Hall and 14 July at Rosemoor Community Hall. All of the outreaches will start at 10h00 but the time can change due to loadshedding.
Die laerskool op Hoekwil het hul honderdste verjaarsdag in 2022 gevier. As deel van die verjaarsdag vieringe wou die beheerligaam van die skool die rugby veld gelyk maak. Die veld het ‘n val van 1,5 m oor die lengte van die veld. Om die werk self te doen sou hulle maande geneem het en ook ‘n baie duur proses gewees het. Die beraamde koste was honderde duisend rand. Die projek het die baie gepaste naam van “Level the playingfields” gekry.Op navraag vertel Marius Wannenberg, Voorsitter van die Beheerligaam van Hoekwil Laerskool, dat hulle vir Henra Konstruksie genader het en het Henra besluit om terug te ploeg in die gemaanskap deur die projek gratis vir die Laerskool te doen. Die laerskool moes net vir die diesel betaal. Die res is deur Henra betaal, kyk gerus die video om die omvang van die werk te sien.Die werk wat gedoen is sluit in om die rugby veld gelyk te maak, ‘n nuwe hokkieveld is ge-bou en die netbal bane is gelyk gemaak.Volgens Marius het die skool nou vir die eerste keer na 100 jaar behoorlike sportgronde om ordentlik sport aan te bied. Die skool is nou besig om gras te plant en danksy die wonderlike reën wat die gebied gehad het behoort dit nou vinnig te groei.Hierdie is voorwaar ‘n wonderlike voorbeeld van waar die gemeenskap en besighede saam werk om die lewe van die inwoners, veral die kinders, te vergemaklik.Video deur Garden Route Media
