The Rand Daily Mail was a South African newspaper published from 1902 until it was controversially closed in 1985 after adopting an outspoken anti-apartheid stance in the midst of a massive clampdown on activists by the security forces. The title was based in Johannesburg as a daily newspaper and best known for breaking the news about the apartheid state's Muldergate Scandal in 1979.[1] It also exposed the truth about the death in custody of anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko, in 1977.
The Rand Daily Mail was resurrected as a website by Times Media Group, who hold rights to the original title, in October 2014.
