About us

An entertainment magazine with a South African heart

We cover the people who make South Africa sing, score, act and trend, with the polish of an international glossy and the warmth of a local conversation.

Our story

Glamour and good journalism can live together

Detectlo.net was created for adult readers who love celebrity culture but are tired of noise. We write about television presenters, actors, musicians, footballers, rugby and cricket players, influencers and entrepreneurs with curiosity and respect.

Our photography is licensed and credited, our interviews are conducted professionally, and our features celebrate the diversity of South Africa's languages, cities and communities.

Attributed statements
When someone says something, we say who said it and where.
Clearly marked opinion
Commentary and personal views are labelled so they are never confused with reporting.
