What We Do
Our mission is simple: to deliver accurate, compassionate, and context-rich news that empowers Africans and global readers alike.

About the Creator
Africa Daily News was founded by Oscar Whitfield, a South African journalist and advocate for trauma-informed journalism. After witnessing the profound impact of unresolved trauma in rural and urban communities across KwaZulu-Natal, Oscar recognized a gap: while news covered the events, it rarely addressed the lasting human cost. This inspired him to create a platform that not only reports the news but also honors the people behind it — with depth, dignity, and care.
Why This Website Exists
This site was born from a quiet conviction: that truth told with compassion can heal. In a continent still recovering from decades of conflict, displacement, and systemic neglect, we believe news should not just inform — it should restore. That’s why every article we publish is reviewed with an eye toward both accuracy and empathy, especially when covering trauma-related stories.
Our Values
We are committed to:
- Accuracy — Every fact is verified, every source respected
- Empathy — We prioritize the dignity of those affected by trauma
- Transparency — We disclose our sources and corrections openly
- Local Voice — We amplify African journalists, healers, and storytellers
