Believe in free independent media? Here’s something small you can do
We’re four years old. Help us be around for at least forty more.
GroundUp began publishing four years ago this week.
We’ve published more than 3,300 articles, and over 1,000 in the past year.
Most of our articles are hard news and in-depth features.
Each news article costs about R2,500 (about 170 US dollars) on average. We make all of them available free of charge.
We try to give you the facts, without which there would be no useful opinion.
We’re small, independent and we try to go where the mainstream media doesn’t.
By reading our stories, you are part of our community. Please help our community be around for at least another forty years.
Give just R30. Click here to support our work.
If all our monthly website readers did that once a year, our future would be assured.
