Cape Media

Kaqala Media Ltd was started in 1997 by Andrew Fehrsen and Royston Lamond with one launch title, The Road Ahead, a trucking annual.

They successfully launched new products to reach a stable of 15 different titles and an events subsidiary with an empowerment partner in Johannesburg.

Their first acquisition of New Africa Publications Magazines (Pty) Limited, housing Leadership Magazine followed. After turning NAPM from a substantial loss making entity into a profitable, cash generative operation and launching two new titles into the vehicle, the company made a strategic decision to focus on business-to-business publishing.

This resulted in the sale of the 4 consumer titles it had launched and the purchase of Media Outsourcing to pursue fee-based business.
