“It’s not every day that one can say a dream has come true, but this opportunity is exactly that for me. After working at the magazine for four years in the past, and being privileged to have Melinda Shaw as my mentor, I am ready for the challenge,” says Neveling. “I am beyond passionate about the heat brand, and I’m thrilled about exciting changes that lie ahead, which I believe will take the magazine to new heights. Everything I have ever achieved has prepared me for this moment, and I hope to make an enormous impact on South African celebrity culture.”

Neveling’s editorship has already had a massively positive impact at tvplus. His in-depth familiarity with the celebrity scene makes him the ideal person to bring readers closer to the entertainment world with heat magazine. “As editor of tvplus for the past year, André has truly proven his ability and passion. We are very proud to make this appointment official,” says Willem Breytenbach, general manager of Media24 Weekly Magazines.
