About

Independent news, verified before it reaches you

SA Verified News is a South African newsroom built around a simple promise: stories that matter are checked, attributed, and published with care: not rushed into the feed.

Our mission

We cover South Africa with clarity and independence: politics, public interest, culture, sport, tech, and the stories communities need to make informed decisions. Every published article passes through editorial verification before it goes live.

How verification works

Writers draft in our newsroom tools. Editors review for accuracy, fairness, and clarity. Only after verification can a story be scheduled or published. That process is baked into our platform, not a slogan on a homepage.

Read more in our Editorial Standards and Corrections Policy.

SA Tech & Watch & Listen

Beyond the main news grid, we run a dedicated SA Tech vertical for technology and digital stories, and a Watch & Listen shelf for verified video and audio from the newsroom: same standards, different formats.

Tips from the public

We welcome anonymous, confidential, and on-record leads. Anonymous mode collects no identity or contact fields; the other modes use protected contact details so journalists can verify the lead. See our Tip line policy or use the tip form at the bottom of any page.
