Welcome to The Mantality Blog, a blog purely for the urban South African man. “Urban South African man… what the bloody hell is that?”, I hear you ask. Well, let’s put it this way, if any of the following applies to you, then you could probably classify yourself as an urban South African man:

  • Stick your head outside your window for a second. Do you hear any livestock or farming equipment? Nope? Good well then you probably live in what’s called an urban area.
  • Had an ex girlfriend (or by your own accord) found yourself “putting on” a facial mask without you objecting (too much)?
  • Could you drive to you local gym blind folded?
  • How many different fragrances do you own? How many do you actually use?
  • Do you know which of the following is unique to SA; Merlot, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage?
  • Are you good with directions? (who cares I have GPS!)
  • Own a designer (or tailored) suite?
  • Spent more than R1500 on a pair of sunglasses?
  • Spent more than R2000 at Teazers or The Grand?
  • Do your shopping online?
  • Groan every time your car repayment goes through? (but relish in looking like such a bad ass driving it)
  • Know the difference (in cup size) between Kerry Mcgregor and Tracy Mcgregor.
  • Know the difference between Al Pacino and a Cuppacino.

So now we’ve established that you probably are somewhat an urban man of South Africa, so go ahead and enjoy the articles, insights, reviews, product launches, website news, snippets, tips, advice and more that can be found here on the blog.
