For more than 85 years, the South Coast Herald has proudly served and remains as the ‘Leader in Local News’ on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast.

Established in 1935 as the South Coast Reveille with a cover price of just two pence, the newspaper has a rich history of trust and reliability.

Renamed shortly after its inception, the Herald has continuously evolved to keep the South Coast informed and entertained. Renowned as one of South Africa’s top local newspapers, the Herald delivers a diverse mix of news, photographs, letters, community insights, sports, and entertainment.

Its excellence has been recognised multiple times with the Caxton group’s ‘Best Sold Newspaper’ award.

The Herald stable includes the Mid-South Coast Herald (formerly Mail) which serves the Scottburgh area, the South Coast Fever (a free weekly) and the isiZulu-language Ugu Eyethu paper.
