First Thing is Daily Maverick’s morning newsletter that’ll keep you informed, entertained and prepared for each workday. Each morning you’ll get:

• Fresh news from overnight that happened while you were sleeping
• Important upcoming events for the day
• Financial Indicators, Weather & random fact to impress friends
• Latest Daily Maverick articles

On Saturdays, you’ll get a roundup of the week’s news and a dose of cultural events on the go, with a list of our best-read articles of the week on Sunday.

We also offer you the Afternoon Thing, a weekday offering of all the important things that happened while you were working, or at least pretending to work. Three days a week we also include the latest Zapiro cartoon.

For those who mean serious business. Tim Cohen’s Business Maverick brings you a focused weekday email bringing the biggest events in global business within easy reach of your inbox.
