The Cape Argus is a daily newspaper co-founded in 1857 by Saul Solomon and published by Sekunjalo in Cape Town, South Africa. It is commonly referred to as The Argus.
Although not the first English-language newspaper in South Africa, the Cape Argus was the first locally to use the telegraph for news gathering.
As of 2012, the Argus had a daily readership of 294000, according to the South African Advertising Research Foundation's All Media Products Survey (Amps) Newspaper Readership and Trends. Its circulation for the first quarter of 2013 was 33247.[2][3]
Jermaine Craig is the executive editor of the Cape Argus.[4] He replaced Gasant Abarder, who resigned in early 2013 to take up a post at Primedia in the Western Cape.[5]
