Dear tertius

Thank you for yor e-mail. We are aware of your concerns regarding advertisments placed in our Volwasse Vermaak/Adult Entertainment section in our Classified section of our newspapers. It is not the newspapers intent to promote adultery or any other forms of adult activities.

The newspapers only provide the space for advertisers to advertise their product or servives. The advertiser would immediately stop to advertise, if there were no need for this type of services. The fact is that our newspapers build a actual mirror of our society and the people living in our community. It is true that SALT represents people with Christian moral values. We at the newspaper serve a diverse community with different taste, moral values and believes. According to SA’s constitution one group may not prescibe another how they should run their lives.

We have moved this section to the last heading (99) before the vacancies to make the accessibility more difficult and we will take care that the advertisments are in good taste.

Regards,
Hennie

Hello Hennie, Thys,

I’ve send a complaint to the Editor of the Vanderbijlpark Ster, Retha Fitchat, on the 14th of May regarding the advertising of Adult Entertainment in Vanderbijlpark. The original email follows at the bottom of this email. She referred me directly to you. We are awaiting your response on the issue.

The original emails are blow:

Hello Tertius,

As editor I am only responsible for the news reporting part of the newspapers but I take note of your and your organization’s viewpoint and will forward your request to our advertising manager and our company’s manager in chief.

Kind regards,

Retha Fitchat

Hello Retha,

We are concerned about the advertisement of the services of prostitution under category 99 Volwasse Vermaak/Adult Entertainment in the Vanderbijlpark Ster of 11-15 May, 2009. I’ve attached the section I’ve referred to.

As part of a Christian community, we oppose all forms of adultery and fornication in our community. Advertising such services promotes practices which we consider to be very serious transgressions according to the Word of God. One way to oppose such practises is to make the accessibility and visibility difficult.

Many Churches and Christians in the community feels the same about this issue. We would appreciate it if you could remove this section from your newspapers (Vaal Weekblad and the other Ster Newspapers the Vaal Triangle).

I write to you as part of the Salt Again online community in our area.

We await your response.

Can you give us your feedback on the issue at hand please.

Regards,

Tertius Bester

We build our ministry around Matthew 5:13

“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.”

In our experience, we as Christians lost our salt and that is the reason why all types of evil is running riot in our communities. The onslaught on our lives start off in a very “innocent” way, and we ignore it or become use to it.

Our aim with this website is to organise Christians to resist the world order and their ways of doing things. We can stand together as Christians and start to make a difference.

Tell us your story, become a publisher or organise a group in your area today!

Regards,

Tertius Bester
