About Daily Dispatch
Daily Dispatch is a historic and influential brand that has been delivering news and information to readers since 1872. As the first penny daily newspaper in the Eastern Cape, it quickly gained popularity and by 1906, it had a circulation larger and more widely distributed than any other colonial paper published outside Cape Town. The brand has always been at the forefront of journalism, exposing injustice and advocating for fair treatment.
Notably, it published a striking tribute to Steve Biko, a hero of the nation, in English and Xhosa the day after his tragic death in police detention. Daily Dispatch prides itself on providing quality journalism and has received international recognition, including the CNN African Journalist of the Year Award in 2010 and 2011. Today, Daily Dispatch continues to cover important issues and debates, particularly in the Eastern Cape region.
Its online platform, DispatchLIVE, offers daily fresh news, insights, opinions, sports, and entertainment reports, accessible anytime and anywhere. Readers can choose to access a selection of free articles or subscribe for full website access. Stay informed with Daily Dispatch and join a community that values quality journalism
