Herbert Melville Guest (29 January 1853 – 29 June 1938) was an author, newspaper owner and politician of the Transvaal. He acquired the ''Klerksdorp Mining Record'' in 1889. He wrote several books on the Second Boer War in the area of Klerksdorp. In 1903 he became one of the first city council members and was mayor from 1910 to 1911. One of his sons was Ernest Lucas Guest, the prominent government minister of Southern Rhodesia. ==Early life== Herbert Melville Guest was born on 29 January 1853 in Kidderminster, England, the son of Herbert and Mary Guest.〔("Guest, Mr Herbert Melville (meteorological observation)" ), S2A3 Biographical Database of Southern African Science.〕 In 1861, Guest's father moved the family to Grahamstown, Cape Colony (in modern South Africa's Eastern Cape), where he was appointed manager of the ''Frontier Times''. At the age of 13, the younger Herbert was apprenticed to the ''Grahamstown Journal''.〔 In 1869, diamonds were discovered on a farm belonging to the De Beers brothers in Colesberg Kopje, which was to become Kimberley, sparking off a rush. The following year, Herbert Melville moved to Kimberley with the staff of the new ''Diamond News'', published by the owners of the ''Grahamstown Journal''.〔 After a few years he returned to Grahamstown and joined his father's printing, bookselling and stationer's business.〔
