The Bar Group acquired the two titles from Ndalo Media, which is currently being liquidated after failing to meet its financial obligations to staff and suppliers.

Johannesburg - Iconic Destiny and Destiny Man magazines are back - only this time they are not published by businesswoman Khanyi Dhlomo’s Ndalo Media, which closed in December 2018.

The Bar Group chief executive, Legend Manqele, said print media is not entirely under threat but that a shift has to happen in order for the industry to remain sustainable. “Print is not dying, the mismanagement of it is causing it to die. Data and access are still a huge issue for most Africans, leaving an untapped audience that may be denied the opportunity to access information which print provides through its longevity and ability to travel for longer.

“There is a decline because print is competing and it needs to be exclusive. It must have a clear direction of where it’s going. There has to be a purpose and a clear intention,” said Manqele.
