A Web site that promotes positive news about SA is growing substantially, say its creators.
The privately run, non-commercial Web site, www.positivelysa.co.za, aims to "offer a central repository of engaging positive facts and inspirational quotes most relevant to SA today".
Dale de Klerk, Carl Ballot and a few volunteers launched the site in January last year to give readers positive facts about SA, covering issues like society, economy, politics, environment and heritage.
Readership has grown from around 2 000 readers in its first two months to 14 000 at present, with positive feedback from readers. "We`ve only received three negative responses and that was in the first two months when we launched the site," says De Klerk.
"Initially we started off with a few pages but the concept emerged as a relevant and practical resource for all South Africans - locally and abroad - to share all that is positive about the country. Individuals and groups alike found the site very positive, and the huge response was motivation enough for us to grow the site.
"To improve the site, we are looking at a couple of ideas, and one of them involves profiling and attracting interest for specific charities."
