Die Burger (English: The Citizen) is a daily Afrikaans-language newspaper, published by Naspers. In 2008, it had a circulation of 91,665 in the Western and Eastern Cape Provinces of South Africa, but by 2025 its print circulation had declined to just to 29,173. Along with Beeld and Volksblad, it was one of three broadsheet dailies in the Media24 stable, though Beeld and Volksblad ceased print publication in December, 2024. Traditionally, the paper has held views to the right of the political spectrum, and it served as the mouthpiece of the South African National Party — a status which declined from 1985 and ended only in 1990. Numerous editors of the paper became ministers in National Party governments. In 2015, Naspers CEO Esmare Weideman apologised for Naspers' role in apartheid, acknowledging "complicity in a morally indefensible political regime and the hurtful way in which this played out in our newsrooms and boardrooms” at the 100 year celebration of Naspers and Die Burger newspaper.
