Hey, the mag was closed down for financial reasons earlier this year. I agree, it was great and really started getting into its own.

Was closed down at the beginning for the year because it didn't make money/sell advertising.

Not to mention the fact that the circ was overstated....
After seeing the real figures no one wanted to advertise in there anymore.

But it was a good mag, how come people didnt want to advertise in it?
And it was affordable so a whole lot of students must have bought it...

Its not just about her hey,there were a whole lot of people who lost their jobs and a whole lot of readers including you and i who wont be reading it anymore.

Unless...some young vibrant ladies out there want to join me and reserruct the mag or start one of our own, for all the True Love Babe fans out there!!!

true dat it was a good mag and i have always thought of strartind a mag or running true love babe. i think it can do with just new, creative and viby ideas to get it off the ground. . .wat do you think guys?

as sad as it is dey cudv told ppl not to subscribe to the damn mag.....i probably gt 4 issues dan it was canned they ddnt evn botha to inform us subscribers of their problm..or refund us(wel hw cud they,hey were broke) i supose my money shame helpd them throw a farewell party..hop they enjoyed the snacks and ballons

My boyfriend always says your "loss is someone else's gain" so dont despair when you lose.
On that note, i am certain they enjoyed the farewll party girl :-) good of you to subsribe!!!hehehehe.

True love babe was my best friend,its the only mag that black young ladies could relate to,most of the mags on the shelve are targeted to the whites most of issues dicussed there we cant relate to,hope someone can realise that it was a mag with potential so they can start it again

I agree. Eventhough there are some great SA mags out there, and of course no mag is perfect, True Love Babe really did provide an approach that appealed to me as a young black woman in South Africa. I definitely could relate to a lot of the content, as they addressesd subjects and experiences unique to their target market.

It's a sad state of affairs, especially since it had the potential to be a stand-alone success in the market for many years to come.

I'm also hoping for a True Love Babe resurrection. Maybe I'll even be involved in it?!...

i definitley will be a part of the True Love babe Resurrection.

i was also a die-hard tl babe fan. so where do we start with the resurrection? hows about a petition to media 24?

Really girl lets start our own mag, do you feel my passion?

y was d forum closed @least we wer gonna b able to kip intouch with the TLB team we luvd so much, i made good friends frm the forum.

The death of this brilliant concept, now gives birth to another! it's time now for an ambitious young lady out there (namely, myself) to mustre up the courage to bring you a similar, yet refreshingly different option.

watch this space!!
