More pop and more punch: Sowetan is getting an exciting new look

We’re thrilled to be introducing our revamped print publication on November 29. Here's what to expect when it hits newsstands

Dear valued reader, 

First, let us express our deepest appreciation for your continued support for the Sowetan.

More than ever, SA needs a vibrant, credible and sustainable news media that meets the demands of an accountable and transparent society. For decades Sowetan has committed to fulfilling this public mandate to inform, educate and entertain our audience.

We are mindful that we serve a dynamic and diverse community of people who share three things in common:

1. They are socially engaged;
2. They are deeply committed to social justice; and
3. They consistently seek opportunities for personal advancement.

We pride ourselves on producing credible journalism and innovative storytelling that places our readers’ needs at the centre of our agenda. To do this effectively, we must continue to evolve on both our digital and legacy platforms.

The new look Sowetan will offer fast, but insightful news reads, together with data-driven, visual storytelling aimed at helping you make sense of the world around you 

For this reason, we are proud to introduce a refreshed Sowetan print publication on Friday, November 29. It will incorporate the bold storytelling for which we have become known, with a fresh design tailored for easier and quick consumption.

Building from our engaging covers, we aim to offer you a blend of fast but insightful news reads together with data-driven, visual storytelling aimed at helping you make sense of the world around you.

With a revamped “how to” personal finance journalism offering, our goal is to simplify complex subjects and empower our audience with the tools they need to make informed decisions about their livelihoods. We invite you to explore with us further opportunities to collaborate to bring useful insights to inspire the upward mobility of those we serve.

Of course, Sowetans love a good time. We love to celebrate culture, music, food, arts, fashion and sports. Our refreshed lifestyle, entertainment and sports pages will offer exactly this. From soulful food content, what to binge on your streaming platforms, the latest celebrity news or delving into the exciting world of Mzansi’s sport, we hope you enjoy the very best of our new Sowetan. Always for those in the know and on the move!
