The Sunday Times is a popular South African Sunday newspaper. It has an audited circulation of 504 000 and a weekly readership of 3,2 million, making it the largest weekly newspaper in South Africa. Recently it was involved in exposing a corruption scandal involving the South African government's US$ 6 billion arms deal. The newspaper was founded in 1906.

The Sunday Times has often been highly critical of government. On 5 November 2007 it was reported that a consortium containing some senior government figures had launched a bid to purchase 100% of Avusa (previously Johncom), the company which owns The Sunday Times. [1]
