Trek magazine was a bi-monthly literary review with left-liberal inclination. In 1947 Trek merged with The South African Opinion after the latter was forced to close down for financial reasons. The two magazines would have a significant impact on SA's literary life as it gave many young writers a platform; The South African Opinion cemented Herman Charles Bosman's status as one of SA's foremost short-story writers and Trek contained some of the earliest prose by two Nobel Prize-Winning authors.
