South Africa Today, accessible at southafricatoday.net, was founded in 2014 by a group of South African journalists and media professionals who wished to remain anonymous. They established the website with the aim of providing an alternative perspective on news and current affairs in South Africa. The founders felt that certain important stories were not receiving adequate coverage in mainstream media and wanted to create a platform to address this perceived gap. Currently, South Africa Today continues to be independently owned and operated by its original founding team, maintaining their commitment to anonymity. Based in South Africa, South Africa Today covers a wide range of news topics including politics, crime, economics, and social issues within the country. The website also reports on regional affairs in southern Africa and international news that impacts South Africa. While not a traditional mainstream news outlet, South Africa Today offers articles, opinion pieces, and investigative reports on various aspects of South African society, including farm attacks, corruption allegations, and economic challenges. The platform aims to provide its readers with information and perspectives that they believe are underreported in other media. One interesting fact: South Africa Today has a unique “Survival“ section on their website, which provides practical information and tips for South Africans on topics such as self-defense, emergency preparedness, and off-grid living. This reflects the website's focus on addressing concerns about personal safety and self-reliance among its readership, which sets it apart from many other news platforms in the country.
