What is The Week in English for South Africa

Overview

The Week in English for South Africa is a subscription news-magazine that condenses the week’s most important global and local news into a concise format. It aims to provide balanced coverage across politics, business, technology and culture.

Delivery formats

Subscriptions are available as in-app digital issues (iOS/Android) and direct web subscriptions via the publisher. Single-issue purchases are also offered in the app store.

How to cancel The Week in English for South Africa

Cancel via App Store (iOS)

• Open your Apple ID settings on your iOS device.
• Find Subscriptions, select The Week, and turn off Auto-Renew at least 24 hours before the billing period ends.
• You cannot cancel the active subscription period inside the app to stop charges for the current period.

Cancel via Google Play (Android) and Web/Direct

• Google Play: follow Play Store subscription management (South Africa - specific details not verified; likely similar to App Store).
• Web/Direct: log in to your account on the publisher site or contact customer service to cancel at any time; refunds for unmailed issues may apply.

What happens when you cancel

Access after cancelling

If you cancel an auto-renewing app subscription, you typically retain access until the end of the current paid period. For web/direct subscriptions, access and termination timing depend on publisher handling.

Data and renewals

Turning off auto-renew stops future billing but does not automatically delete your account or data. Renewals will stop at the period end if auto-renew is disabled in time.

Will I get a refund?

Web / Direct refunds

For direct subscriptions, the publisher may refund the cost of unmailed issues, commonly if cancelled within a specified window or under publisher policy.

App Store refunds and exceptions

• Apple handles refunds under its billing rules; unused portions of free trials are forfeited once you purchase a subscription.
• Refunds for unmailed issues are not standard through the App Store; you must request any publisher-side refund via their policy.

Optional helpful evidence

Common mistakes

Trying to cancel inside the app (iOS)

Users often try to cancel the active subscription from within the magazine app. For App Store purchases you must manage subscriptions through your Apple ID settings, not the app itself.

Missing auto-renew cutoff and refund assumptions

Not turning off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the billing period ends can lead to an unwanted renewal.

Assuming automatic refunds for unused or unmailed issues can cause frustration; refunds depend on channel and publisher policy.
