Saturday Post

The Saturday Post was an English language weekly newspaper, with a target area lying inland roughly between Port Elizabeth and East London, and was published by the Saturday Post Ltd at their Head Office in Port Elizabeth with John G Sutherland as founding Editor. Their offices were located in the CNA Building, near the corner of Mount Road and Adderley Street (now Govan Mbeki Street). The paper was printed by Unie-Volkspers Beperk at the corner of Britannia and Strand Streets, Port Elizabeth. It was initially launched on February 8, 1947 as a free specimen edition.

Vol 1 No 1 went on sale on March 15, 1947. The Saturday Post and the Daily Advertiser newspapers were purchased and merged by Eastern Province Newspapers Ltd in 1950 and relaunched as the Evening Post with the name Saturday Post retained as the magazine section for the weekend edition. The new newspaper was printed by a new company, the Alliance Printing & Litho Company, at the Daily Advertiser's old facilities in Hancock Street, North End.

Over the years the newspaper has undergone numerous name changes and is currently (2021) published as the Weekend Post.
