Yet, despite this energy, local artists often find themselves overlooked, under-supported, and overshadowed by commercial entertainment....

Beautiful | Educated | African | Dynamic | Soulful (BEADS)

Beads are an important symbol of Africans. It is especially so with Zulus. Every bead has a different meaning. They are beautiful individually but even more when put together. They complement each other. THAT is what we hand to promote as Beads Magazine.

Beads Magazine is a magazine based and focusing on profiling the African community of KwaZulu Natal. The talent here is immernce. The landscape is gorgeous. The history in intense, but more extraordinary is the people who come from South Africa’s playground.

We focus on showcasing inspirational people of the province, people we wouldn’t know otherwise. We showcase opportunities and possibilities. We also showcase places you would miss if you don’t focus.

Fact is some of the most inspiration people of this country originate in KZN, so why no flaunt what we have.
