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.President Nelson Mandela said he would consider an amnesty for white extremists convicted of political crimes, including bomb blasts that killed 21 people this year, AP reports from Cape Town.
He was speaking after talks with Ferdi Hartzenberg of the Conservative Party. Mr Mandela said he was willing to meet Mr Hartzenberg again, and expects to meet Eugene TerreBlanche, leader of the neo-Nazi Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB), for the first time next week. Both groups boycotted last month's all-race election.
