“IOL is always on the cutting edge of innovation, and we’re always looking for new ways to reach and interact with our audiences. WhatsApp is by far the most widely-used social media and chat platform in South Africa, with most South Africans using WhatsApp an average of nearly four hours per day,” said IOL Editor-in-Chief Lance Witten.

“So it makes sense for us to be where our users are, just like our focus on our TikTok channel and other social media platforms like X and Facebook.

“Here we build communities and create touch-points with our audiences to connect with our content and brand,” Witten said.
