It’s Throwback Thursday, so the Herald went back in time to the very last edition of August 1986.
In that edition, the Herald reported on elderly citizens being targeted in a gambling scam.
In the same edition, Herald readers learnt that heart disease remained the number-one killer in South Africa.
Other interesting headlines at the time were as follows:
• R7-million Doornkop contract
• Lachaim to 19 years for Jewish Women
• Heart disease still number-one killer
• Time runs out, models
• Ozalid donated R500
