History
The Cape Times had its origins in the great economic and social boom years that followed the Cape's attainment of "Responsible Government" (local democracy) in 1872.
The first edition of the newspaper was published on 27 March 1876 by then editor Frederick York St Leger.
It was the first daily paper in southern Africa, and soon became one of the principal newspapers of the Cape.
Modelled on The Times, its primary target was the poor working class, as it attempted to expose early government corruption.

Cape Times - Whites Only by Lowe Cape Town
During apartheid, signs and signboards such as "whites only" or "Slegs Blankes" were a common sight in South Africa.
But between 1989 and 1994 these signs gradually came down as South Africa moved towards democracy. The first democratic elections, which resulted in Nelson Mandela becoming the first black President of South Africa, were held on April 27, 1994.
This day, Freedom Day, is now celebrated every year in South Africa, to commemorate the struggle for freedom. The Cape Times has always been an ardent supporter of free and fair reporting and, sixteen years on, continues to provide in-depth news on the new South Africa.
