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.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuter) - A white woman accused in the murder of the African National Congress leader Chris Hani said yesterday she had gathered information on political leaders to expose their hypocrisy, not to kill them.

Gaye Derby-Lewis, 54, who is on trial for the murder of the Communist Party general secretary on 10 April, is said to have drawn up a hit-list including Hani and Nelson Mandela.

Her husband Clive, 57, a member of the Conservative Party (CP), and Polish-born Janusz Walus, 38, are the other defendants in the trial.
