About Us

Classicnews7 is a South African online news magazine that explains the stories that affect your pocket, your vote and your daily life — clearly, quickly and without the noise.

What we cover

• Money: petrol prices, interest rates, SASSA grant dates, two-pot retirement withdrawals, tax and the cost of living.
• South Africa & Politics: elections, local government, Parliament and service delivery.
• Business & Tech: jobs, companies, data prices, apps and the digital economy.
• Sport & Entertainment: the Springboks, Bafana Bafana, the Proteas, the PSL, TV and music.

Our promise to readers

Every article answers the questions South Africans are actually asking: When? How much? What do I need to do? We link to official sources — government departments, the Reserve Bank, the IEC and SASSA — so you can check the facts yourself. When information changes, we update the article and show the date it was updated.

Who we are

Classicnews7 is based in Johannesburg and is owned and operated by Ready4BusinessOnline, a South African digital marketing and web design agency. The publication is led by founder and editor Jonathan Lokota.
