Goldster is a targetted online community that addresses health and wellness issues for those of an older generation.
The name Goldster is a play onn words – Oldster, Golden Oldie and chosen to emphasise the positive in being “Old but Gold!”
Local winepreneur and well know Gqeberha resident, Olga Hafner liked the product so much that she nagged and nagged the founders and, as a consequence, South Africa is the first country to be targeted as a stand alone community in the world. Yet another kudo for Gqeberha and residents like Olga who are often at the forefront of new technology, product and thinking.
