history
The newspaper was founded in 1982 as the Golden City Press by Jim Bailey in the publishing house South African Associated Newspapers (SAAN). The following year the golden disappeared from the title. When SAAN gave up its partnership with Bailey, the paper ran into financial difficulties and Naspers took over the newspaper on April 1, 1984.
In November 2014, the Committee to Protect Journalists awarded Ferial Haffajee , editor-in-chief of City Press and previously Mail & Guardian , a prize for press freedom on behalf of the imprisoned journalist Bheki Makhubu from Swaziland .
