History
The Daily Sun- South Africa's largest and loudest daily newspaper, was launched on 1 July 2002 by Media24, a division of the Naspers group. It was the brainchild of veteran journalist, Deon du Plessis- who remained its publisher and minority shareholder until 11 September 2011- when he died suddenly at his Johannesburg home.
The newspaper is based at Media Park in Auckland Park, Johannesburg- but is printed countrywide. It is now overseen by Publisher Jeremy Gordin, who took up the role in 2013.
Daily Sun celebrated its decade of excellence in 2012.It celebrated its 15th anniversary in July 2017.
