Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

President Jacob Zuma will marry for the sixth time next weekend when he takes his long-time fiancée, Gloria Bongi Ngema, as his fourth current wife.

Mr Zuma is a Zulu traditionalist, and polygamy is legal in South Africa. His spokesman said the wedding would take place in Nkandla in KwaZulu-Natal province. Mr Zuma is divorced from one wife and another took her own life in 2000. REUTERS
