SA stars with international magazine covers

These Mzansi celebrities are taking South Africa to the world.


It’s hard enough bagging a local magazine cover, let alone an international one, but these local celebs make it looks easy.

Some of South Africa’s biggest stars are in demand in other parts of the world and have made it onto the covers of magazines in Nigeria, France and America.

Here’s a look at some of their covers.

Bonang Matheba

South Africa’s media darling unveiled her new cover for Nigerian fashion magazine, Schick.

It’s not the first time Queen B has graced the cover of a magazine outside SA. She featured on the cover of TW magazine in 2016, alongside Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa.
