WE CHATTING TO: Hlulani Masingi founder of Shangazine, an online
lifestyle magazine that aims to celebrate Xitsonga as a world-class culture.
Started in 2016, the magazine gathers inspiration from Xitsonga people
and spreads it across the globe in an attempt to promote the cultural
group’s contemporary and traditional way of living.
It shares the tribe’s magnificent regalia and lifestyle, inspiring articles and
rich yet fun content that is encouraging and exceptional about Xitsonga
people. With its name being derived from the words shangaan and
magazine – Shangazine’s vision is to take back the word “Shangaan” which
has been used to degrade many Xitsonga people in South Africa and
celebrate it positively.
