VISI 67 is here

Escape to the country with the latest edition of VISI magazine, hitting the shelves in July 2013.

The hottest read the chill has blown your way, expect 6 celebrated authors going wild, 80 pages of divine out-of-town hideaways, 30 reasons to chill out and nest, and over 30 prizes to be won, including a R9 000 weekend at Babylonstoren.

Get into the mood with wild personal reflections from notorious social observer Lin Sampson, Zen hermit poet Robert Berold, jazz loving novelist Nthikeng Mohlele, sesame-oil-obsessed memoirist Ufriedo Ho, grow-it-yourself restaurateur Mariana Esterhuizen and techie rockabilly journo Kevin O’Grady.

Then let your eyes do the walking from the Mpumalanga bushveld, all the way down to the Cape winelands, not missing the Free State farmlands along the way. Cottages, barns, mansions and homesteads, from traditional and rustic to modern and minimalist, there’s something for everyone to lust after and easy ways for each of us to bring a country-touch home. Especially with the 30 reasons showing exactly how to shop the look.
