about time

‘This magazine is a vote of faith in South Africa’s future. It is based on the assumption that a great many people here are interested in a new way of looking at living.’
– Jane Raphaely, from her publisher’s note in the 1993 launch issue of House and Leisure

Sumien Brink Editor (1993-1999)

‘Jane Raphaely and Volker Kühnel made a brave move when they launched in 1993, just six months before our country’s first democratic election. It could have gone either way. But they had faith that there were enough South Africans who would support the that relates to the way we want to live in South Africa, right now.’
