“TimesLIVE is a descendant of the colossal Times family, led by the legendary Sunday Times, SA’s first family newspaper. Sunday Times has been a favourite among appointment readers for 117 years.

"We are migrating this tried-and-tested model to a digital platform, through TimesLIVE, to give you convenience and the best time of your content consumption life,” says Mzi Malunga, the group CEO of Arena Holdings Group.
