I went to my local cafe today to pick up the last Weekender, but I was too late. Together with the FT, The Weekender became my compulsory weekend reading. Not because the paper carried the biggest news stories, but because of the quality of its writing, and the fun the reader had going through its pages. There was always something coming in unexpectedly, where you least expected it. My files are bulging with places to go and stay that I simply wouldn’t have picked up anywhere else. The graphics were great and it’s just such a shame that good quality reads seem to hover somehwere on the cutting line between life and death in South Africa. I am going to miss it because there simply isn’t another Saturday read I would bother to buy. But thanks for the ride.
