Time Out South Africa has announced an exciting new partnership with broadcaster, storyteller, and social media foodie favourite Nick Hamman, who officially joins the brand as a Strategic Content Contributor and Culture Connector.

This collaboration marks a fresh and exciting chapter for Time Out South Africa as the global lifestyle and culture platform continues to grow its local footprint—celebrating the people, places, and experiences that bring city culture to life.

Well known for his infectious curiosity, immersive storytelling, and deep love for local culture, Hamman has become one of South Africa’s most recognisable cultural voices. Through his widely followed food and travel content, he’s introduced audiences to hidden gems, iconic flavours, and the personalities behind them. His signature mix of humour, authenticity, and cultural insight has earned him a strong and loyal following across radio, social media, and digital platforms.

Connecting culture and city life

As Culture Connector, Hamman will collaborate closely with Time Out South Africa across editorial storytelling, city discovery, cultural conversations, and audience engagement initiatives—helping audiences uncover the very best of South Africa’s vibrant food, music, nightlife, and creative scenes.

Built on a foundation of trusted local voices and globally recognised editorial authority, Time Out South Africa is dedicated to helping audiences tap into the heartbeat of the city through the experiences, neighbourhoods, and communities that are shaping culture as it evolves.

A shared vision for South Africa’s city culture

Speaking about his excitement, Hamman shared his thoughts on the new role:

Time Out feels like exactly where I’m meant to be. I can’t wait to join a team of people who explore the world with fearless, honest curiosity. Together, I believe we can help audiences see what so many of us already know, that South Africa has some of the most culturally alive cities on earth,” said Hamman.

Time Out South Africa Managing Director Aisha Mohamed says Hamman’s appointment fits seamlessly with the brand’s long-term vision of creating a platform that’s deeply rooted in local culture and community, while continuing to spotlight the voices, stories, and experiences that shape South Africa’s cities.

“Nick brings an incredible ability to connect people to culture in a way that feels natural, entertaining and genuinely authentic. He understands that the best city stories often come from the people and communities shaping them every day. As Time Out South Africa continues to grow, this partnership strengthens our mission to create a platform that not only celebrates South African culture, but actively participates in it,” said Mohamed.
