Founding editor was Jane Raphaely and the second editor Vanessa Raphaely.

"We looked for a very long time for the right person to replace me as editor on Cosmo," says Vanessa Raphaely. "To my mind the job, Sbu has done with True Love made her by far the most exciting and qualified candidate. She is the new-generation Cosmo woman - young, smart, accomplished. We are delighted to welcome her to Associated Magazines' team."

Award-winning Mpungose has honed her editorial skills on various titles, including Move, Bona, Drum, Edgars Club and True Love.

"I read Cosmo as a teenager and well into my 20s," she says. "It liberated me as a woman and empowered me to live a fun, fearless life. To join the magazine as editor is a career highlight and a great personal achievement. I'm excited to be a part of this dynamic brand."

Julia Raphaely, MD of Associated Magazines, adds, "We welcome her to a magazine that has established itself as a trendsetting brand, with over a million readers accessing its content in print, online and through social media. We are confident that not only will she bring great value to the brand; she will also continue to build on the brand's success, not only in print but also across its many different platforms.
