About Us

Ndalo Media, parent company of DESTINY magazine, DESTINYCONNECT and other ventures, aims to establish itself as one of South Africa’s leading media companies.

The company is owned by its Managing Director, Khanyi Dhlomo and Media24 through a 50:50 joint venture. Media24 owns and manages some of South Africa’s leading magazines and newspapers.

Ndalo Media’s first venture DESTINY is a high-end business and lifestyle magazine for women. DESTINY is aimed at accomplished, stylish and intellectually curious women who are either interested in, or actively engaged in business. As the first publication of its kind in South Africa, it aims to fill a void for business and financial information that connects, supports and inspires women who are professionals, entrepreneurs, businesswomen and general business enthusiasts.

To support and enhance DESTINY’s print product, DESTINYCONNECT was launched in October 2008. DestinyConnect serves to extend the brand into the online space, incorporating an interactive social media platform, as well as a portal for readers to engage with and empower themselves and each another.
