Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The short-term loans provider Wonga has chosen South Africa for its first step in international expansion after trials showed that the country's consumers liked its online service.
Wonga provides short-term loans online to tide customers over until payday. It said it would offer loans of between 100 rand and 2,000 rand (£7.50 to £150) for periods of up to a month to South African customers.
The company, which launched in Britain in 2007 and recently added a Wonga for Business Service, is the market leader for short-term unsecured loans that can only be obtained online.
