These are the morning editions of ''[[The Mercury (South Africa)|The Mercury]]'' and the afternoon ''[[The Daily News (Durban)|Daily News]]''. Like most news media in South Africa, they have seen declining circulations in recent years. Major Zulu language papers comprise ''Isolezwe'' (Independent Newspapers), ''UmAfrika'' and ''Ilanga''. Independent Newspapers also publish ''Post'', a newspaper aimed largely at the Indian community. A national Sunday paper, the ''Sunday Tribune'' is also published by Independent Newspapers as is the ''Independent on Saturday''. A major city initiative is the ''eZasegagasini Metro Gazette''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.durban.gov.za/durban/government/media/gazette|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091128134559/http://www.durban.gov.za/durban/government/media/gazette|url-status=dead|title=eZasegagasini Metro Gazette|archive-date=28 November 2009}}</ref> The national broadcaster, the SABC, has regional offices in Durban and operates two major stations there.
