UD Express

UD Express has been the eyes, ears, and voice of the Kariega (formerly Uitenhage) and Despatch communities since 1971, making it the oldest single-title free sheet in South Africa. Established with the goal of keeping our community informed, we have grown into one of the most trusted local news sources in the region, with 30,000 free copies delivered mostly door to door across Kariega, Despatch, and surrounding areas every week. From local governance to community heroes and celebrations, UD Express is committed to sharing the stories that define our town. As the leading local publication, we make it our duty to inform, inspire, and connect the residents of Kariega and Despatch and give them a voice and platform for issues that are close to their homes and hearts.
