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.An egg with a series of mottled brown ridges that appear to spell out "Allah is great" in Arabic will go on display in a mosque in Cape Town, one of the men who found the egg said yesterday.
The egg was bought from a farmer on Monday by a group of Muslims holding religious classes at Maccasar, about 40 miles from Cape Town.
One of the men, Faizel Eksteen, 45, said the wording was a sign that God exists. "If I see an atheist now, I will show him proof," said Eksteen.
The egg has been handed over to a mosque in Cape Town's Woodstock suburb and will be displayed there, Eksteen said, adding that he hoped that it could then go on a tour of the Cape Town area.
