12 successful years of TeenZone

TeenZone, launched in 2000 as a proudly South African magazine, has published its issue no. 101, released on the stands early this week.

"Twelve years on, we have had too many highlights to review, but one we are particularly proud of was South African youth voting it into the Top 10 coolest brands on the female magazine category of the 2011 Sunday Times Generation Next Awards survey," says TeenZone editor, Dominique Drake.

The magazine is targeted at all South African youth, offering them an original publication filled with lifestyle information, covering teen-related issues, relationship advice, celebs (international and local), movies, music and more. Readers are frequently consulted about content and contribute editorially towards the magazine.
