Eastern Cape Publications
To Inform, Engage and Empower Local Communities
The Eastern Cape’s diversity is what makes it truly special. From coastal cities to rural heartlands, this province is rich in culture, industry, and natural beauty.
This region is served by four Express titles, covering a vast distribution area that stretches from the pristine Blue Flag beaches of Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha) and Jeffreys Bay, to the automotive hub of Uitenhage, surrounded by citrus orchards, game reserves, and dairy farms. Further inland, the landscape transforms into the rolling green hills of the Transkei, where rural villages blend with the fast-growing town of Mthatha, a key economic and cultural center. This dynamic mix of industry, agriculture, and heritage makes the Eastern Cape a province like no other.
