Cape Truth is a registered, proudly South African independent news house founded to restore structural integrity and fearlessness to digital reporting. We follow facts, verify strictly, and protect our sources.
Established in 2014, Cape Truth emerged in response to the massive consolidation of media entities. We realized that corporate-dependent structures often bypass critical local investigations in favor of quick digital metrics. Operating as an independent entity, we prioritize depth over speed.
Our work focuses heavily on matters of governance, local utility administration, civil rights compliance, public health, environmental challenges, and digital surveillance developments affecting South African citizens.
We investigate without fear, favor, or prejudice, bringing light to files or schemes that would otherwise remain hidden from local citizens.
We leverage highly secure physical and digital dropboxes, adhering to strict international practices on reporter privilege and confidentiality.
If we discover errors in our published items, we make public amendments openly, documenting precisely how the lapse occurred.
