The circulation also shows a growth of 3% when compared to the same period in 2011. This was revealed in the Q1 circulation results released by the South African Audit Bureau of Circulations yesterday.

“Move! tackles issues that our audience wants to read about – we respond directly to their requests and suggestions when we plan each week’s content, and deliver the content that they specifically ask for,” says editor Thandi Gweba. “Move! keeps an up-to-the-minute pulse on real life, offering stories that address the issues faced every day by South African women, from gospel to gossip, from bargain hunting to family and relationship advice. The magazine also focuses on South African celebrity stories and real people, giving readers a mix of content that is 100% locally produced and relevant.”

“Move! has been created to be a woman’s companion for the week, giving her easy to read content in bite-size chunks, making it ideal for women who commute,” says Lindsay Breytenbach, associate publisher at Media24. “It is produced in a format that is easy to carry around, reinforcing its position as a constant companion to the amazing women that form the backbone of South Africa’s society.”

“Our readers have a particularly close relationship with Move!, and they frequently talk of it as if it belongs to them,” says Gweba. “We never take them for granted because they are they are the reason we produce this title with such passion. We have welcomed and embraced their contributions, and publish their articles about their own experiences regularly. This in turn promotes their close relationship with the magazine, a factor that has contributed to our steady and sustained growth in circulation.”
