Historical Ads from Drum

This selection of advertisements from Drum Magazine and Golden City Post (1951–1982) highlights the intersection of editorial content and advertising, essential for the magazine’s financial sustainability. Targeting the growing Black middle class across Africa, these ads reflect a period of modernisation and post-colonial change.
