Drum (South African Magazine)
DRUM is a South African family magazine mainly aimed at Black readers and contains market news, entertainment and feature articles. It has two sister magazines: Huisgenoot (aimed at White and Coloured Afrikaans-speaking readers) and YOU (aimed at demographically diverse South African English -speaking readers of different ethnicities to inform, inspire and entertain them by offering its own brand of coverage on current events and interesting people).
In 2005 it was described as "the first black lifestyle magazine in Africa"—but it is chiefly notable for its early 1950s and 1960s reportage of township life under apartheid.
