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.The economy is still largely under the control of whites, President Jacob Zuma has said, calling for a "dramatic shift" to redress the wealth balance more evenly in favour of the black majority.
Without giving details, Mr Zuma said a "dramatic shift and giant leap" were needed in coming years to spread South Africa's wealth more equitably, mentioning the distribution of mineral resources and land ownership as areas that needed to be overhauled.
Such calls have been a staple of ANC strategy documents for years and Mr Zuma's policy speech comes months before he will seek re-election as leader of the faction-ridden ANC in December.
