About us
A premium magazine with a proudly South African heart
Newscra.com is a digital entertainment magazine dedicated to the people who make South Africa shine: television presenters, actors, musicians, sports stars, influencers, designers and entrepreneurs.
We combine the polish of an international celebrity title with a local voice, bringing adult readers across the country profiles, interviews and lifestyle features they can trust.
Editorial standards
You always know what you are reading
Attributed statements
When someone tells us something, we say who said it and where it came from.
Opinion and speculation
Commentary is labelled as opinion, and unverified rumours are never presented as established fact.
Made for Mzansi
Written in natural South African English, with Afrikaans, isiZulu and isiXhosa planned next.
Our story
From a small newsroom idea to a national conversation
We started with a simple belief: South African stars deserve coverage that is as rich, colourful and thoughtful as the country itself. That means original reporting, properly licensed photography and a genuine respect for the privacy and dignity of the people we feature.
Today our editors and writers cover entertainment, television, music, sport and lifestyle, and our premium members enjoy exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes features and ad-free reading.
We handle every reader's personal information in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), and we clearly label sponsored content so it is never confused with independent editorial.
