Beeld (freely translated as Picture or Image) is an Afrikaans-language daily newspaper that was launched on 16 September 1974. Beeld is distributed in four provinces of South Africa: Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Limpopo and North West, previously part of the former Transvaal province. Die Beeld (English: The Image) was an Afrikaans-language Sunday newspaper in the late 1960s.
In June 2024 Naspers announced that it would close the newspaper, along with City Press, Rapport, and the Daily Sun, in October of that year due to declining newspaper sales.[1] A month later Media24 announced it will suspend the planned closures until the Competition Commission approves of its plan to sell newspaper distribution company On-The-Dot to Novus, which was the reason behind the papers' planned shuttering.[2]
