The Citizen (South Africa)
- The Citizen (South Africa)
"The Citizen" is a tabloid style newspaper that is distributed nationally in South Africa.
It was the only major English language newspaper that was favourable to the ruling National Party under apartheid. In 1978 the newspaper was at the centre of the Muldergate Scandal, so-named after Dr Connie Mulder, the Cabinet minister who was first implicated. The State President, former Prime Minister B.J. Vorster was ultimately also implicated in the use of a slush fund to establish and finance the newspaper.
In 1998 it was acquired by CTP/Caxton, a printing company with a reputation for merciless financial management.
