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.

SOUTH AFRICA'S most famous choral troupe, the 10-piece Ladysmith Black Mambazo (right), have released 40 albums to date, but they are probably best known for their work with Paul Simon on his Graceland album and, most recently the music used for the nostalgic Heinz TV adverts. However, with a Best of album, The Star and the Wiseman, resting in the Top 10, it's a good time to get fully acquainted with the impressive a cappella and dance ensemble from Durban.
