Van Coke Kartel, Liquideep and Hugh Masekela are some of the local acts featured on the cover of the first ever Rolling Stone South African edition, which will hit the streets tomorrow. Covering everything from young visionaries and icons to politics, movies and more, Rolling Stone believes in music as a unifying force. Boasting a 50/50 split of local and international content and showcasing South Africa’s diverse creative talent, Rolling Stone South Africa engages local audiences with stories that resonate in their own experiences and lives. Rolling Stone South Africa Editor-In-Chief Miles Keylock says: “It’s about respect - for our subject matter and our readers. We focus on real, in-depth pop culture and current affairs stories, not tabloid headlines and hype. You’re not going to get this kind of editorial content in any other magazine in South Africa. We will be featuring kwaito alongside rock, jazz alongside pop, and hip-hop alongside house. That potential, to start cross-pollinating cultural conversations, is one of the most exciting things about the magazine.” Produced under license in South Africa by Cape Town based 3i Publishing, the monthly title has a retail price of R34.95. Rolling Stone SA will be available at the following outlets: Exclusive Books, CNA, Musica, Pick ‘n Pay Hyper, Look & Listen, Spar stores nationwide and select outlets
