Mthatha Fever

The Mthatha Fever is the largest community newspaper of Fever Publications, a subsidiary of The Witness Group. 60 000 copies of the free weekly paper hits the streets of Mthatha every Wednesday morning delivering local news and sport to residents of the town. The Mthatha Fever offers news in English and Xhosa. It also includes the widely popular Gossip column and cartoon. A new distribution strategy has recently been formulated to make sure the paper gets into the hands of our advertisers’ target market in the following areas: Port St Johns, Mthatha, Libode, Ngqeleni, Tsolo, Qumbu and Mount Frere.

The Mthatha Fever is known to have the highest number of individually delivered papers in our footprint – more than any other paper in the area. You can also read the latest community news online by visiting our website www.feveronline.co.za.
