THE FINAL EDITION So long and thank you for... everything!
Photo: Claude de Koker
The arrival of this brilliant image of a bruising sky over Beacon Island Hotel reached us last week at the same time the decision was made that today’s issue would be the last CXPRESS ever. An energetic amateur lensman and one of Plett’s most experienced lifesavers, we surmised that photographer Claude de Koker’s time on the planet may well coincide with CXPRESS seeing the light nearly 23 years ago. Lo and behold, the paper beats him to it by 16 months (CX 1.6.98 - CdK 30.9.99)! So whereas this edition is our swansong, we wish Claude and all those who have contributed to the unique nature of this newspaper a truly bright future. Find out more on page 2.
