Eastern Cape — Latest News & Local Stories

Want fast, local updates from the Eastern Cape? This tag page pulls together the latest stories that matter to people living in Gqeberha, Makhanda and smaller towns across the province. You’ll see hard news, practical guides, and on-the-ground reports that affect daily life — from fuel costs to council decisions.

Looking for concrete examples? We cover how national moves hit local pockets, like the fuel levy hike set for June 2025 and what it means for farmers and shoppers. You’ll also find reporting on service delivery, transport links, local business moves, and community responses. Each post links to the full story so you can read more where it matters.

Sports and events get attention too. Eastern Cape fans follow provincial teams, school competitions, and big matches that bring towns together. Culture and tourism stories highlight sites people actually visit — beaches, heritage museums, and local festivals — so you can plan a weekend or follow a developing local issue.

What you’ll find here

Short reads and deep dives. Quick briefs for busy mornings and longer pieces when you want background. Expect: breaking local news, provincial politics, farming and rural economy, transport and road updates, community safety and court reports, and profiles of businesses and civic leaders. We tag stories clearly so you can skip to the topics you care about.

We aim for clarity. Each post shows the publish date and a summary, so you know how recent the info is. If a story affects households — like rising fuel costs or food prices — we explain the practical effects and give tips where possible. That makes it easier to decide what to act on, or who to contact locally.
