Huisgenoot (Afrikaans for Housemate) is a weekly South African Afrikaans-language general-interest family magazine.
[3] The magazine also has many brand extensions and a popular concert, Skouspel, was held at Sun City every year until 2014.
Some of the best Afrikaans artists are heard and the most popular singers, actors and TV shows of the year are honoured with an award called Tempo.
Content includes a mix of real-life drama, glamour, fashion and consumer affairs articles as well as recipes, crossword puzzles, home projects and sport.
By the late 1970s the culture and mores of the Afrikaner population had begun to diverge from earlier generations, leading to a drastic decline in the magazine's readership and finances.
