Understanding Black Friday consumer trends

Walk into any successful company and you’ll find the same thing: people who care; people who show up every day, even when times are tough; people who build something from nothing or take something good and make it better. That’s what we’re celebrating at the News24 Business Awards this year.

The fourth annual News24 Business Awards takes place on 12 March 2026 at Nasdak in Cape Town. We’re bringing together business leaders who are making a real difference in this country to celebrate their achievements.

The winners have been chosen through a rigorous process – over 4 100 News24 subscribers and readers had their say, we analysed the financials, and industry experts weighed in. These companies represent excellence across banking, insurance, healthcare and corporate leadership.

You’ll meet CEOs who still remember their early days building their businesses, banking leaders who genuinely care about customer experience, insurance executives who work to make claims processes clearer and faster, and healthcare innovators focused on making quality care more accessible. These are people with real stories and genuine insights to share.

When you sponsor these awards, you’re celebrating excellence alongside us. Your brand becomes part of a story about businesses that have integrity, treat people well and solve meaningful problems.

News24’s reputation for credible journalism extends to our awards. When we recognise these businesses, that recognition carries weight. Your partnership with this event reflects positively on your brand.

Our headline sponsorship offers exceptional value. For R500 000, you’ll receive over R2 million worth of digital exposure, editorial coverage, speaking time and event branding. Our second-tier sponsorship, at R200 000, provides R850 000 worth of event presence and digital exposure. We maintain category exclusivity across all levels.

This is your chance to celebrate the businesses that are building South Africa’s future while positioning your brand alongside genuine achievement.
