About our online magazine

We cover food, travel, culture and business from Johannesburg and beyond, one honest story at a time.

Stoeptalk started in Braamfontein as a small newsletter about the places and people of Johannesburg. Today we publish stories about food, travel, culture and business from all over South Africa. We also work with local makers to offer a small shop of home goods.

You can find us at 31 Juta Street, Braamfontein. Call 011 555 0135 or write to info@example.co.za with your ideas.

Our story and the facts

Stoeptalk started on a Braamfontein stoep, with good coffee and a few friends who wanted to share the stories their city never told.
