City Press (South Africa)
- City Press (South Africa)

City Press is a Sunday newspaper that is aimed at black readers and is the third biggest selling newspaper in South Africa. City Press is distributed nationally and in neighboring countries including Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and Swaziland. It has a readership of about 2.5 million (Source: AMPS 2001A).
The newspaper was established in 1982 as the Golden City Press by Jim Bailey and the South African Associated Newspapers (SAAN) group. The following year, "Golden" was dropped from the newspaper's name. SAAN later withdrew from its partnership with Bailey and the newspaper ran into financial difficulties; consequently Nasionale Pers took over the publication of the newspaper as well as its sister publications, Drum and True Love & Family on 1 April 1984. Its former editor was Khathu Mamaila [1].
