recognisable name, probably needs a job, and can't let too many actual darkies into women's magazines - at least we know Khanyi is safe and will toe the party line on homogenising the black women's market so it eventually fits seamlessly into the white women's magazine market and no one needs to worry about whte women being marginalised in media
i'm being cynical - but you're right - a harvard MBA should be a magazine publisher or even CEO - not editing a magazine.
cmon Khanyi - open your own company - redefine women's magazines - open the job market to young black women and give them a training ground that acknowldeges their backgrounds and experiences instead of simply shoring up the existing structure that expects young black women to be little coconuts fitting to succeed in a medium that cannot move beyond a white western construct.
are you going to make Real as 'real' as move is? I read that magazine and wonder just how much the subs know about English as spoken by second language speakers and how much vibrancy and new intriguing forms of African English are being dissolved under the refusal to acknowledge that the language is an evolving one.
English as spoken by the intelligentsia in India, Kenya, etc are very different to the British english we're expected to iternalise here to succeed in magazines.
I wonder when someone will wake up and smell the coffee and realise that African English is a fantastic, evolving vibrant way of communicating - and we all don't have to speak English like the Queen to be understood?
I think editing real will not be the best of jobs for a woman of her calibre but I think it is not a bad idea to get magazines such as real on that platform because she would give Busi from true Love a run for her money and Thami will have to watch her mag.....
I thought she was going to use those high qualifications for a better use. I just hope its not true about our lovely Khanyi. I mean thats the lady who use to set standards in Mzansi...what is happening to her????
I cannot wait for press realease about this. Imagine it ....MBA from Harvard to edit some Real Mag. I mean even if she will give Busi some run for the money...there is absoultely no match between the two. Come on gal don't dissapoint us.
She won't be with Real at all, this is a Sunday Times error. She will be starting her own title, with Media24 backing but under another publisher, that will target a high end market.
I doubt not Khanyi. Most black South African who went overseas to further their career came back for better things. For example Peggy-sue khumalo from Miss South Africa to an Economics at Investec, Tumi Makgabo CNN to 2010 world cup spokes person, Felicia Mabuza-Suttle from Talk show to Dr Felicia etc.
I don't believe that for a second. No it can't be.
We'll never grow as a country if we look down on people of high calibres going for small jobs. I'm ok with Khanyi not being a Real editor, Phindile's doing a great job, but it would be great to have Khanyi! Look what she did at True Love. She's always been a woman of growth!!!
You are still the most black african women, who is inspiring the young generation everyday Khanyi& whether you are an True Editor or Real Magizine or hold an overseas MBA, We are still motivated & insipired by you good work. And you are GREAT and you know what you are a Real 'DIVA' keep it up!

Will it be you Khanyi - as a magazine editor?
I wonder ...
