History

IWeek was established in 2005 as a trade publication serving South Africa's technology industry. It was published by ITWeb, a technology media house that also operated other specialist titles. The magazine's intended audience consisted primarily of technology professionals, businesses, and readers interested in developments within the South African information-technology market. The title initially followed a weekly publishing schedule. It was subsequently changed to a biweekly frequency, although the available reference material does not specify the exact date of the change or the business reasons behind it. The publication's reported circulation was 9,300 copies. This figure positioned IWeek as a focused industry publication rather than a mass-market magazine. Sipho Memela was the founding editor. In 2010, Martin Czernowalow became editor. The change is the principal documented editorial leadership transition in the publication's history. IWeek was also identified as the sister magazine of Brainstorm, another technology-oriented publication associated with ITWeb, placing IWeek within a broader specialist media portfolio. The publication maintained an online presence through the iweek.co.za domain, which is represented in the available record by an archived version of the site. The sources supplied here do not establish whether the print edition continued after the documented period, whether the title was discontinued, or whether it was absorbed into another ITWeb product. For that reason, the current status of IWeek remains unresolved.
