Veteran media entrepreneur Naushad Khan officially launched his new digital publication, Cape Town This Month, on Thursday, 23 October, with a spectacular sunset celebration held atop Table Mountain. The event marked not only a personal milestone for Khan — who turned 60 this year — but also a gesture of support for Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Co (TMACC) and Table Mountain, both nominated in the 2025 World Travel Awards.
Cape Town This Month is a collaboration with Red House Marketing, the Bahrain-based publishers of Bahrain This Month. The partnership unites two leading media voices from Africa and the Middle East, creating a dynamic platform to promote tourism, culture, and lifestyle across global audiences.
Khan extended his heartfelt gratitude to George F. Middleton, Chairman and Publisher of Red House Marketing and Bahrain This Month, for his mentorship and belief in the project.
“The launch of Cape Town This Month marks a proud extension of our publishing family’s spirit of connection and collaboration,” said George F. Middleton. “Red House Marketing has always believed in celebrating communities — their people, culture, and stories — wherever they are in the world. This partnership with Naushad Khan brings that vision to life in one of the most breathtaking cities on earth. We’re delighted to see this vibrant platform take shape and look forward to sharing Cape Town’s unique energy with audiences across continents.”
In his address, Khan reflected on his three decades in the media industry and the inspiration behind the new venture:
“Turning 60 this year has given me the gift of reflection. After three fulfilling decades in the media world, I wanted to create something that celebrates not just stories, but the spirit of Cape Town — our people, our culture, our beauty, and our resilience. Cape Town This Month was born out of that vision — to encourage families, mature audiences, and all who love this region to explore, connect, and enjoy life to the fullest.”
The platform will feature a website, social media channels, a podcast, a YouTube channel, and niche lifestyle and tourism events, offering audiences an immersive experience of the Cape’s vibrant identity.
The evening concluded with a toast to “new beginnings at every age” — celebrating both the timeless beauty of Table Mountain and the start of a new chapter in Cape Town’s storytelling landscape.
