In the middle of our shaky economic climate, DEKAT magazine decided to spread its wings and venture into a new world, not only increasing our presence on the internet, but also the visual world of television.

From Friday, 1 May at 21:30, this prestigious and innovative magazine will take SABC3 by storm. DEKATV will be presented and produced by the same team responsible for the high quality that has become DEKAT’s trademark over the past 24 years.

The inserts will reflect the articles as researched and written by its award-winning journalists, but will not necessarily be a carbon copy. It will take viewers behind the scenes of its most important scoops. Above all, it will be eye-catching, unpredictable and original in keeping with the DEKAT culture of amazing stories presented from fresh and unique angles.

DEKATV will focus on art and film; environmental awareness; entrepreneurs; travel; cars; food; current affairs; news; and lifestyle issues, packaged in an exciting new format. The presenters include DEKAT journalists like Louïne van der Vyver; Juanita Daniels; Marliza van den Berg; Charleen Clarke; Minette de Villiers; Johrné van Huysteen; Martmarie Wessels; and exciting newcomer, Katlego Maboe. The award-winning script writer, Leon van Nierop, has joined the team. Elzilda Becker, the publisher of DEKAT magazine, is the executive producer, while Iza Trengove, well-known in television circles, serves as on-line producer with Vicky Kente as consulting producer. Annamarie van Wyk is the production coordinator.

For each and every editorial staff member, contributor, advertiser and passionate reader, it is a dream come true. Enjoy every moment. Experience the world you thought you knew in ways you could never have imagined!
