Good Things Guy has just been named the Best Blog in South Africa for the third year in a row and also came in tops as the Best Lifestyle Blog in the country for 2019.

The South African Blog Awards is the official showcase and recognition platform for the very best of South African blogs. They endeavour to bring South African bloggers to the forefront of people’s attention, both locally and internationally, increasing exposure for South Africa’s great bloggers around the globe.

Lindeque maintains that all he wants to do is change the national conversation and give South Africans a balance to the news in our country.

The man behind the blog

A personal crusader on a mission to empower through the power of positive thinking, Lindeque has achieved global recognition for his forward-thinking approach and has inspired a nation. Recognised as one of theMail and Guardian’s Top 200 Young South African’s as well as a Primedia LeadSA Hero, and one of the GQ Men of the year for 2019, South Africa’s Good Things Guy is just thankful for the continued support of the readers.

“I am so incredibly humbled and thankful for both the awards and to be named South Africa’s Blog of the Year again is just mind-blowing.

The platform has become one of the top good news sites in South Africa & has grown from a simple idea to share a few good stories on Facebook to a full team that bring good news to South Africans every day.
