Cosmo hits highest figures in 15 years

Vanessa Raphaely, editor of Cosmopolitan and editorial director for Associated Magazines, says: "We are delighted with this great result. What makes this accomplishment so exciting is that the last time we reached this circulation there weren't nearly as many competitors. In a cut-throat market Cosmo has stood its ground and grown.

"Cosmopolitan is the single girl's bible and measured by the success over the last six months, young South African women are not going to part with their favourite magazine."
