Africa's Better Future

The Mail & Guardian is not an alternative to your media mix, it is an essential! Hailed as the most informed and daring chronicler of the dying years of apartheid, the M&G (formerly The Weekly Mail) became South Africa’s premier source of news and perspective.

This ethos of providing an objective, in-depth investigation into the stories behind the stories has never wavered and, in turn, has transformed the Mail & Guardian into an essential read for those who want to be in the know. The Mail & Guardian is a unique publishing adventure, leading the market in investigations, politics, business, health, education, science and the arts.

Home to South Africa’s finest journalists, with the commitment to providing quality content by pursuing the stories that shape a country, the Mail & Guardian has reaped a rich harvest of awards and international accolades. Our journalism remains refreshing and challenging with an aim to create debate and celebrate diversity.
