My favorite magazine when I was in South Africa....I was teaching myself to read Afrikaans by reading the classified ads in this magazine.... Maybe Wouter and Glock will see this thread..... |

After perusing hundreds of classified ads I began to pick up some important words in Afrikaans...pretty soon I was actually able to scan articles in the magazine and get the gist of the article!

Those magazines were only 1 Rand each at the news stand! Years ago I tried to find out how much a subscription cost to get mailed to America. Man Magnum cost about $75!!! So I never did it.

Hi Eduardo,
Yes the Landbou Weekblad (English Edition also available as Farmers Weekly) was many a young boys staple reading as a wannabe farmer. Whilst I was attending an agricultural school in the Great Karoo near Cradock I used to love reading this magazine and dreamt of being a farmer one day. The Magnum is also an iconic South African magazine. It was first published as Man Magazine and was a mixture of guns and girlie pics. It gradually evolved to a fully fledged hunting and gun magazine with a name change to Magnum. Now for one of my favourite jokes about Landbou Weekblad 0r Farmers Weekly. A newly wed couple was on their honeymoon. That night as the husband wanted to consumate the marriage the wife said: Oh dear, not tonight, I have my Mothers Monthlies" to which the husband replied: I also brought along my Farmers Weekly, but now is not the time for reading!!

Hey guys. I'm new here, and I had to update this thread to bring it back to life. What magazines do you read most of the time? Actually, I'm still fond of some African magazines. They contain so many photos of animals and nature in general. My children love it so much!!
