Zulu is the language of the country’s biggest ethnic group and is an important language in politics and commerce in South Africa.  The paper, which launched on October 31st, 2010, will compile the best stories from the English Sunday Times.

“It’s a language that’s on the up, and a lot of Zulu language speakers are also on the up,” said Editor Ray Hartley. “The Sunday Times expects a circulation of 10,000 and hopes to expand.”
