Daily Maverick is a unique blend of news, information, analysis and opinion delivered from our newsrooms in Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa. There are many ways to describe exactly what we do (and for the price of a cup of coffee we'll talk your ears off about it), but the best way to understand the end result is to experience it. Head to our website or subscribe to one of our free newsletters. Every part of Daily Maverick is free-to-air and no-payment-required, although free registration is required for a small subset of functions and pages. Daily Maverick is run by an independently owned, private company with no affiliation to any other media group (or political party or religious organisation.) It is funded through advertising, events and reader contributions. Its investigative unit, Scorpio, is mostly grant funded.

The Mail & Guardian is not an alternative to your media mix, it is an essential! Hailed as the most informed and daring chronicler of the dying years of apartheid, the M&G (formerly The Weekly Mail) became South Africa’s premier source of news and perspective. This ethos of providing an objective, in-depth investigation into the stories behind the stories has never wavered and, in turn, has transformed the Mail & Guardian into an essential read for those who want to be in the know. The Mail & Guardian is a unique publishing adventure, leading the market in investigations, politics, business, health, education, science and the arts. Home to South Africa’s finest journalists, with the commitment to providing quality content by pursuing the stories that shape a country, the Mail & Guardian has reaped a rich harvest of awards and international accolades. Our journalism remains refreshing and challenging with an aim to create debate and celebrate diversity.
