FiND iT and AfriNUUS are making sure that you receive news this summer holiday all day long – for free! Just the way you like it.
Jana Grobbelaar, editor of FiND iT, says these two media houses work together to make sure that South Africans are kept informed and can still receive news for free.
Both FiND iT and AfriNUUS are privately owned and together reach more than 4 million Afrikaans readers, with more than 12 million page views.
Hein Boshoff, editor of AfriNUUS, says this is a first for Afrikaans, where two of the largest independent Afrikaans news services join forces to bring you the leading news – in one of South Africa’s nine official languages.
“Over December and January, we thought it good to join hands, while some of our hard-working journalists deserve a well-deserved break,” says Boshoff.
These two news services together reach approximately 20 million readers. “If you put the numbers together, we are excited to provide you with breaking news, through a collaboration between our journalists. This means that you can read the same news on both platforms,” says Boshoff.

Both editors feel strongly about independent news offered for free. Grobbelaar elaborates that FiND iT Nuus – and in effect now also AfriNUUS – goes even further to keep South Africans informed, data-free. “With our news presentation on the Moya App, which is data-free, we also reach Afrikaans speakers who cannot afford to use data to read news. Information and access to information is a right, not a privilege. This is how you keep yourself informed of what is going on in your environment,” says Grobbelaar
Boshoff agrees: “I personally feel that it is the right of our Afrikaans speakers to read news for free in their language. With this unique agreement, we agree that it is important to keep our readers informed – wherever you are.”
