About us

A South African magazine for South African stories

DetecFy.org is a premium digital magazine on the people who define entertainment in South Africa: presenters, actors, musicians, sports stars, creators and designers.

Bright newsroom with desks, monitors and magazine proofs

Our mission

We combine the polish of an international entertainment magazine with a proudly local voice. Our readers are South African adults who enjoy television, music, sport, fashion and the personalities behind them.

Our goal is a trustworthy editorial experience: beautiful photography, thoughtful writing and a clear line between independent journalism and sponsored content.

We are preparing the magazine for future reading in Afrikaans, isiZulu and isiXhosa, so more of the country can enjoy the stories in their own language.

Our editorial standards

Verified, attributed, opinion

Every claim is labelled. Verified information, attributed statements and personal opinion are clearly separated.

No rumours as facts

We never present unverified personal rumours as established fact, and we say so when something is speculation.

Properly licensed images

All photography is original or properly licensed, and credited wherever required.
