Bolander, concentrating mainly on the finer things in life, is aimed at the discerning reader, with features on arts and culture, the environment, the winelands, high society, fashion, travel, cuisine, restaurant reviews, health, investment, property, books, top-of-the-range car reviews by our “fast ladies” – and extreme sports. Bolander will be a bilingual publication, published in English and Afrikaans.

Every Wednesday, 36 000 copies of Bolander will be distributed free to the “magnificent seven” towns of Somerset West, the Strand, Gordon’s Bay, Stellenbosch, Paarl, Wellington and Franschhoek. The Bolander will be delivered door-to-door in the upmarket suburbs of these towns, as well to key distribution points at shopping centres and upmarket stores in the area.

Bolander is printed on Envapost and editorial content is driven by quality.

Backed by a number of key property partners, Bolander will also carry the Bolander Property Guide, a property publication offering readers a selection of property investments available in the area. Over and above the door-to-door distribution in the Boland area, The Bolander Property Guide will be available at 50 selected estate agents in the area.
