Read more about The Herald
On May 7 1845, the first copy of The Herald was printed, making it the oldest newspaper in South Africa. The Herald has come a long way since that first printing day when the paper hit the streets at a cover price of a single penny.
From its humble beginnings as a black-and-white four-pager more than 170 years ago to the leading print and digital publication in the Bay today, one thing has remained unchanged: The Herald was and still is the voice of Nelson Mandela Bay – in print and online.
