Ishmet Davidson, Head of Local Newspapers, has announced that after careful consideration, a decision had been taken by the shareholders of Drendy Investments to close the four Eastern Express titles, currently being published in Durban.
Last week’s editions (1 March 2013) are the last of the current offering to be distributed to the communities of Phoenix, Chatsworth, Durban South and Durban Central. The decision is in line with a restructuring of Media24 Local Newspapers in the KwaZulu-Natal region, to focus on growth areas in the KZN market, and further developments will be communicated in due course.
