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.Each week, we invite three companies to offer us their best deal for a specific break. Today: a city break in Cape Town. Prices are per person, based on two people travelling together. Each includes five nights' accommodation and flights from Heathrow in early December.
Virgin Holidays - £899
Includes Virgin Atlantic flights on 3 December, transfers and B&B at the Protea Hotel President. "This hotel is in a great location, half way between the famous V&A Waterfront and the first-class beaches of Camps Bay,'' says Nick Cutmore (0844 557 3859; virginholidays.co.uk).
BA Holidays - £1,099
Includes BA flights between 2-6 December and B&B at the Table Bay Hotel (book by 12 November). Transfers extra. "A member of the Leading Hotels of the World, this elegant hotel has panoramic views of the Atlantic to Table Mountain," says Claire Bentley (0844 493 0787; ba.com).
Fleewinter - £1,142
Includes BA flights on 10 December, car hire and self-catering accommodation in the Casa apartment. "Camps Bay is a favourite place to stay in Cape Town, as it lets you combine a city break with time on the beach," says Vicki Luxmoore (020-7112 0019; fleewinter.com).
