History
The Herald first went into publication on June 2 1880 and was funded by Samuel van Kloest (1817 - 1898). Initially, it was comprised of just a few pages which covered national news and sport but by 1900 it had expanded to include opinion pieces and the Court Diary which was first published in the Herald in 1902. In 1905, van Kloest's son and heir, Louis van Kloest sought investors and wealthy newspaper mogul Ernst Bruck bought the newspaper outright. It was sold in 1930 to the Guerren family who continue to own the newspaper.
