About the Creator
I’m Elara Thompson, a South African journalist and storyteller with over 15 years of experience reporting across the continent. I’ve worked in newsrooms from Johannesburg to Accra, and I’ve seen firsthand how vital it is to have trustworthy, locally grounded journalism. Cycad Africa Daily News was born from a simple belief: Africa’s stories deserve to be told with dignity, depth, and without bias.
Why This Website Exists
Too often, Africa’s narratives are filtered through external lenses—oversimplified, sensationalized, or ignored entirely. I created Cycad Africa Daily News to change that. This is a platform built by Africans, for Africans, and for anyone who wants to understand the continent beyond the stereotypes. We don’t just report the news—we help you understand its roots, its ripple effects, and its human impact.
Our Values
Our work is guided by three core principles:
- Accuracy — Every story is fact-checked and verified
- Context — We go beyond headlines to explain the ‘why’
- Respect — We honor the voices, cultures, and complexities of the people we write about
We don’t chase clicks. We chase truth.
