Voorslag (Whiplash) was a literary journal published in Durban, South Africa in 1926 and 1927.[1] It was the first modern small magazine in South Africa and was subtitled "A Magazine of South African Life and Art".[1] The magazine was founded by Roy Campbell and William Plomer; Laurens van der Post was invited to become its Afrikaans correspondent. Campbell served as the publication's editor for three issues before resigning due to interference from his proprietor, Lewis Reynolds; Reynolds discouraged Voorslag's criticism of the colonial system.
