Welcome to the SCOPE Archive
We believe we have the largest collection of Original SCOPE Magazines in the world.
The majority of the collection focusses on editions from the 60’s and 70’s.
An important record of how South saw itself and of how power, race, gender, and privilege were normalised.
Of what was said openly, what was omitted, and by comparison, how far we have all travelled since then.
We’ve shown the cover, but the real story is inside. From the articles to the advertising, this is a reflection of its time.
This original issue of SCOPE Magazine captures a specific moment in South African cultural history—unfiltered, and unmistakably of its time. Read it, study it, or frame it as a cultural artefact.

South African Oligarchs
Harry Oppenheimer and Anton Rupert: 60’s fashion influencers?
“No one remembers what kind of tie Mr. Anton Rupert wore when he was a school master but since he became the world’s top tobacco tycoon, as well as South Africa’s most distinguished patron of the arts, Mr Rupert has gone after neckties with the enthusiasm of a butterfly catcher”.
“ Some of his genius for packaging his products has gone into a study of the necktie as a work of art. He is very particular about design and is not afraid of colour - in the right combination and blends. He usually buys his ties in Italy from world-renowned cravateurs like Ibbas, Runci, Angelo and Brioni, but his favourite tie artist is said to be Emilie Pucci. And there is also the “Rupert tie”, characterised as “conservative but distinctive.” People who get “Rupert ties” as presents include eminent artists, writers and jurists and, of course, employees, in all his far flung enterprises. before he took off for his Christmas sojourn at Hermanus, Mr. Rupert made the rounds of his Headquarters at Stellenbosch with a box of ties from which his associates were invited to take their pick.”
