Finweek is a South African weekly business magazine published in both English- and Afrikaans-language editions. With a circulation of 31,634 (ABC July 2006 – September 2006) it is South Africa’s highest circulating business magazine. Competitors include fellow weekly Financial Mail and Maverick, published monthly.

Finweek was launched in September 2005, following the merger of Finance Week and Finansies & Tegniek, both established titles in their respective English- and Afrikaans-speaking markets. In the same month, the magazine merged with the financial Website Finance24 to create Fin24.co.za (http://www.fin24.co.za). With 244,819 local unique browsers (Nielsen//NetRatings Q3 2006), Fin24 is now the country’s most accessed financial portal and the fifth most popular site overall in terms of local unique browsers.

Finweek’s content focuses on business and investment issues with a leaning towards investigative stories and columns. The primary audience consists of high income executives and serious investors.

The magazine is owned by Media24 Magazines, South Africa’s largest magazine publisher, which is in turn owned by diversified media group Naspers (JSE: NPN, NASDAQ: NPSN)
