The 43rd Knysna Oyster Festival has wrapped up after 10 days of sport, food and family entertainment that attracted thousands of visitors to the Garden Route.

New South African app helps users fight spam calls
Story 3
A new South African app is giving people a practical way to fight back against unwanted spam calls and better protect their personal information.
Created by Johannesburg developer Mathew Riddle, the app helps users report nuisance callers, send requests for companies to remove their personal information under the Protection of Personal Information Act, and keep track of responses if action is not taken.
The app also allows users to flag spam numbers, creating a community driven database that can help warn others before they answer unwanted calls.
