The Rep reporter Bhongo Jacob took this picture of Mambongo Mhlahlo outside a private doctor’s consulting rooms yesterday. Mhlalo said she reads the paper every week to keep up to date with the current affairs of Komani and surrounding areas.
“ I am so surprised, I did not expect to ever bump into the people who work for our local paper. I am just sitting here waiting for my doctor! Reading newspapers is good for me, I like to know things that I did not know about my community.”
According to https://www.quora.com reading newspapers have a lot of benefits, which includes helping people to adjust to the changing times and provide a great sense of educational value.
It also helps broaden the scope of knowledge and helps people learn about the views of others and understand a different perspective.
