History and Ownership
Moneyweb was founded in 1997 by South African financial journalist and media entrepreneur Alec Hogg, who contributes to the online news industry in South Africa, as well as business radio in the country.

Moneyweb was once the only local site with a dedicated editorial team that did not rely on a print publication for content. It relied only on digital publishing, and established itself as a publisher of breaking and relevant news. It also reports on the crypto market.

Based on this formula, additional websites were developed to meet the needs of Moneyweb's audience. These included Broadband.co.za, MiningWeb.co.za and Travelzine.co.za.

Moneyweb was listed on the JSE on 17 June 1999. In the first two hours, more than R13-million worth of stock was traded in over 130 deals.

Caxton Publishers & Printers Ltd acquired a minority stake in Moneyweb in 2008, which was increased to 88% in 2012 following Hogg's resignation as CEO.

AME acquired the shareholding from Caxton in 2018.

Moneyweb delisted from the JSE on 11 January 2022 when AME acquired the remaining shares it did not already own.
