Rapport (newspaper)

Rapport is an Afrikaans-language weekly newspaper in South Africa and published by Media24. Its head office is in Johannesburg. It is the second largest Sunday newspaper in South Africa after the Sunday Times. Inge Kühne has been the editor since 2021. In 2024 it was decided that the print edition will close due to declining sales. The last print edition was published on Sunday 22 December 2024, and it is now available online only.

History

Rapport was established in 1970. The precursor was Die Beeld, an Afrikaans Sunday newspaper established in the 1960s. Die Beeld later merged with Dagbreek to become Rapport. The Beeld brand was re-established in 1974 with the founding of the daily newspaper, Beeld.
In June 2024, Moneyweb reported the newspaper would cease print in October. Media24 declined to comment. A month later Media24 announced it will suspend the planned closure until the Competition [Commission (South Africa)|Competition Commission] approves of its plan to sell newspaper distribution company On-The-Dot to Novus, which was the reason behind the paper's planned shuttering.
