Good news, my friends! I am here to tell you that real journalism isn't dead. I know that much of what you can expect from newspapers these days is the poorly paragraphed harvest of some "staff reporter" with a smartphone dragging a wide-toothed comb through the damp, snaggly pelt of social media and picking out the juiciest nits, burrs and bugs for your delectation, but you'll be pleased to know that this is not the case with your favourite local newspaper (i.e. this one)...

There’s never been a more important time to support independent media.

From World War 1 to present-day cosmopolitan South Africa and beyond, the Sunday Times has been a pillar in covering the stories that matter to you.

For just R80 you can become a premium member (digital access) and support a publication that has played an important political and social role in South Africa for over a century of Sundays. You can cancel anytime.
