WSF Media keeps a single contact and postal address in Rosebank, Johannesburg. It is the place mail reaches us and the only location we list anywhere on the site. Nothing here is a shop, an office you can walk into, or a pickup point, so please treat the address as correspondence only.
Contributors write from Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban, which is why pitches often arrive about streets far from Rosebank. If your note is about a market, a rank, a record stall or a walking route in one of those cities, say so in the form and it goes to the contributing editor who knows the area.
The map below covers the stretch of Johannesburg around Rosebank, roughly between the northern suburbs and the inner city. It is there to show where the postal address sits in relation to the rest of the city, not to suggest a place to visit.
If you would rather write than look at a map, the form on this page is the simplest route. A pitch about your street, your commute or a spot nobody else covers is welcome, and so is a plain note about something we got wrong.
If something on your street, your commute or a corner nobody writes about has been sitting with you, put it in the form. A short paragraph is enough to start.
We read everything that comes in, whether it is a full story idea, a photo essay you have already shot, a walking route you keep doing on weekends, or a plain note about something we got wrong. Contributors write from Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban, but a good pitch can come from anywhere.
Submitting the form passes your note to our handler and takes you to a thanks page. It does not create an account, start a subscription or book anything. Every submission is edited for plain English before it goes anywhere near publishing.
The Firs, 32A Cradock Avenue, Rosebank, Johannesburg, 2196, South Africa
A pitch, a correction, a note about something on your street. All of it lands in the same place.
WSF Media is a small, reader-supported blog about everyday city life in South Africa. Contributors write from Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban, and the pieces that get published usually start as a message from someone who noticed something worth writing down. If you have a story about your street, your commute, or a spot nobody else seems to cover, send it through.
Submissions are edited for plain English before publishing, and that is the only condition attached to sending one. There is no account to create and nothing to sign up for. The address below is a contact and postal address only, not a place to visit.

A place, a person or a routine you think deserves a short first-person piece.
A visual subject you can describe clearly, even if you are not the one shooting it.
A response to something already published, or a correction worth making.
A route you know well enough to describe the shade, the surface and the stopping points.
Send any of these to the email address on the left, or use the form on this page. Either way it reaches the same inbox, and the note is passed to the site's handler. Nothing is created on your behalf and no reply time is promised.
