Its forerunner was launched on 27 June 1891 by William Fairbridge for the Argus group of South Africa. Named the ''Mashonaland Herald and Zambesian Times'', it was a weekly, hand-written news sheet produced using the cyclostyle duplicating process.

The newspaper responded by leaving blank spaces where articles had been removed, enabling readers to gauge the extent of the censorship. Post Independence I ...
