launches a digital-first logo
REMAX Southern Africa unveils a refreshed brand identity, tailored to maintain the brand’s position as the most recognised and trusted name in real estate, both locally and internationally.
The updated visual identity is designed to thrive across digital platforms while retaining the distinctive REMAX elements that South Africans know and trust –like the iconic red, white, and blue colours with a slightly updated hot air balloon logo and wordmark.
The refresh introduces cream and black into the colour palette and adds a dynamic slash between the brand’s wordmarks. True to the brand’s business model, agents can now put themselves at the centre of the brand by placing their image between the “RE” and the “MAX”.
Affordable style since 1992
At the tender age of 4, there was a dream that became a reality when the doors of Heinz In Style, the shop, opened on 22 July 1992. The owner is a qualified mechanic, but his passion for fashion, fabric and people came out much stronger with a career span of 42 years in the fashion industry.
Situated in Third Avenue, Newton Park for the last 30 years, we attend to the patrons of good old Port Elizabeth and surrounds, be it for a matric farewell, wedding, black tie event or modelling.
“While our look is evolving, our mission remains unchanged – to help South Africans find their perfect place to call home,” says Regional Director & CEO, Adrian Goslett.

Axxess voted Gqeberha’s favourite ISP, celebrates by connecting communities and giving back
In a resounding vote of confidence from our local community, Axxess has once again been crowned Gqeberha’s favourite Internet Service Provider. This accolade comes at a pivotal moment, as the company deepens its commitment to the city through its flexible Home Internet services and by launching a groundbreaking new initiative designed to bridge the digital divide.
The most exciting development is the launch of Vuma Reach Fibre, a transformative pre-paid fibreto-the-home solution engineered to bring high-quality, affordable internet directly to traditionally underserved neighbourhoods. With entry-level pricing starting at an unprecedented R199 per month, Axxess is making reliable, high-speed internet a reality for thousands of households.

nities, and true digital inclusion at a price that transforms what’s possible.”
The Vuma Reach packages are designed for accessibility:
• 10/10 Mbps for only R199 per month (R249 prepaid
• 20/10Mbps for just R359 per month (R399 prepaid)
Each package includes uncapped data, a free router, and complete installation at no extra cost. Customers can choose the flexibility of prepaid vouchers from local Spazas and retailers like Pick n Pay, Boxer, and Shoprite, or the convenience of a monthly subscription. While this new fibre network expands Axxess’s footprint, the company continues to provide comprehensive connectivity solutions for every Gqeberha resident through its robust Home Internet services, which encompass widespread 5G and LTE offerings, ensuring coverage across the city as well as the traditional core Fibre services.

To thank its loyal customers, Axxess is launching an
incredible giveaway for Vuma Reach prepaid clients: Win Your Share of R80,000 in grocery vouchers!

Lorraine Neighbourhood Watch celebrates 20 years of service
Lorraine Neighbourhood Watch (LNW) is proud to be recognised for its continued contribution to the safety and well-being of the community. Since its establishment, LNW has worked tirelessly to deter crime and create a safer environment for all residents.
The success of LNW lies in the unwavering commitment of its patrollers, led by Chairman Peter Graham. Our dedicated team of 70 to 80 active volunteers selflessly gives their time and resources, patrolling the neighbourhood at their own expense. Their visible presence and devotion have helped ensure that crime levels remain low, proving the strength of community-driven action.
We extend our sincere appreciation to Walmer SAPS, in particular Captain Karen Nel and W/O Malcom Hanson, for their steadfast partnership. We also acknowledge the valuable support of our local armed response companies, who work
alongside us to strengthen security efforts. Equally, we thank our community members, who serve as spotters and contribute to fundraising. These efforts are vital in expanding our AI CCTV footprint, which plays an increasingly important role in crime prevention. Our Ward 8 Councillor, Gustav Rautenbach, is also recognised for his ongoing encouragement and support.
In June 2026, Lorraine Neighbourhood Watch will proudly celebrate 20 years of uninterrupted service, making it the longest-running neighbourhood watch organisation in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro. This milestone stands as a testament to the resilience, perseverance, and community spirit of our members and volunteers.
LNW remains committed to building on this foundation of success. With the dedication of our patrollers, the support of SAPS, armed response partners, and our community, Lorraine will continue to be a safe place to live, work, and raise families.
