About Komani News

Komani News is your local news source for Komani and the surrounding towns — quick, accurate, and focused on the people who live here.

Our mission

We exist to inform, connect and empower the Komani community by publishing the stories that matter: local council decisions, school events, community sport, business openings, human interest features, and issues that affect everyday life.

We believe local news should be:

  • Relevant — we cover the things that impact you here in Komani.
  • Clear — we write plainly and avoid jargon so everyone can understand what’s happening.
  • Fair — we aim to present balanced reporting and give community members a chance to be heard.

What we cover

Komani focuses on hyperlocal reporting:

  • Civic and municipal news (service delivery, council meetings, development updates)
  • Education and schools (events, achievements, concerns)
  • Local sports (fixtures, results, festivals, grassroots profiles)
  • Community life (markets, church notices, clubs, human interest stories)
  • Business and economy (small business news, job notices, openings)
  • Culture and events (festivals, shows, and things to do)

If it’s happening in town, it’s of interest to us — and probably to your neighbours too.

Our editorial approach

We aim to be independent and practical. Our reporters and contributors live in or near Komani and care about accurate, timely coverage. We:

  • Verify information before publishing.
  • Quote sources clearly and attribute when appropriate.
  • Publish corrections quickly and transparently when mistakes happen.

Komani is proud to be a platform for local voices. Opinion pieces and letters to the editor are welcome — but editorials will be clearly labelled.
