Hermanus Times

Hermanus Times is the oldest newspaper in the region and the heartbeat of the Overberg. Since its first edition in 1949 the then-named Hermanus News has grown with local residents and made its mark as a trusted source in the local, social, economic and political fields. The first issue appeared on 17 September 1949 with the slogan “A newspaper devoted to the interests of Hermanus and district and surrounding seaside resorts”. And from 2020, the vision to bring credible news to its readers was expanded to the entire Overberg when the Theewaterskloof Gazette was incorporated into Hermanus Times. The award-winning editorial team provides the readers with accurate, balanced and impactful articles about the region – from local government to community news – Hermanus Times is committed to sharing the stories that define our region.
