Telling stories is what Media24does best. We ensure that our various publications are up to date with the latest news, stories that shed light on the issues that tug at the heartstrings of people and get them talking. Stories about celebrities, stories about princes and princesses and stories about the ordinary everyday heroes that make our country a better place.
But we also make our own stories. This website is dedicated to telling you more about everything we do, how we do it and why we take such pleasure doing it.
In the past year Media24 donated thousands of lapdesks to learners throughout the country; collected donations for the needy; gave shelters a new lick of paint and dealt with the issue of drug and alcohol abuse with a song and dance.
These are just some of our projects that we want to share with you. Allow us to do what we do best: captivate you with our stories. After all, Media24 is the biggest storyteller in
Africa
!
We invite you to let us know what you think of us, what you would like to see and read on this website as well as your general comments. We would love to hear from you.

Media24 and the City of Cape Town joined hands to celebrate International Mandela Day
The United Nations declared 18 July Nelson Mandela International Day to commemorate the legacy and example to serve local communities. This year was special once again, as the country had the opportunity to celebrate yet another of our beloved Madiba's birthdays - this time his 92nd one.
To join in the spirit Media24 and various Cape Town leaders were joined by a group of celebrity motorcyclists, who included the likes of Jeremy Mansfield, Hanna Grobler and Marc Batchelor. Everyone contributed to revamp a community health centre in Khayelitsha.
"As our contribution, Media24 cleaned the area surrounding the facility, donated the 9 doors and 2 steel doors that the health facility so desperately needed, we also gave 3 of the rooms a new coat of paint," said Adrie Jurgensen, CSI Manager for Media24.
Francois Groepe, CEO of Media24, brought his family to give a hand and share in this worthy and Morgan Freeman, legendary actor, showed his respects to Madiba by joining in the efforts.

School
in Bonteheuwel. This is the second play school that they have launched in conjunction with the Cape Town Multi Service Centre. Other Naspers sponsors including as Property24.com, MNet and Dealfish were brought on board as well as some of the trusted Media24 suppliers.
Together they were able to provide the Netreg community in Bonteheuwel with a green friendly facility, made from a recycled shipping container from Big Box Containers in Cape Town, which will serve as a play school and aftercare facility to ensure that the children of Bonteheuwel have safe and educational environment to grow and thrive in. Three food gardens and a soup kitchen were also provided to the school. For more information, see our project of the month and gallery.
