Online news: fast, reliable updates from Africa and beyond

Want news that moves as quickly as you do? Online news brings headlines, live scores, political shifts and human stories straight to your phone or laptop. Here on Explore Africa Daily we pull together the biggest moments — from Wimbledon comebacks and cricket milestones to local politics and energy stories — so you don’t miss what matters.

What you’ll find here

We cover hard news and the stuff people actually talk about. Want sports? See match reports, player comebacks and tournament updates like Djokovic’s late push at Wimbledon or Mitchell Starc’s 400th Test wicket. Following politics? We publish clear pieces on regional power moves, coalition troubles, and policy changes such as fuel levy impacts that hit farmers and shoppers. Prefer culture or business? Expect album news, corporate statements and quick explainers that make sense even if you skim.

Each story is written to be short, useful and up-to-date. Headlines give the gist; the lead gives the key facts; links point to full reports if you want depth. That means you can scan headlines in the morning and choose two or three full reads for your commute.

How to follow online news smartly

Getting news online isn’t just about scrolling. Set simple routines: pick reliable sources, use alerts for topics you care about, and mute noise. Subscribe to a short morning briefing, follow a few trusted reporters on social media, and turn off autoplay videos to save data. Want live sports updates? Use push alerts for scores, not every play — that keeps your feed useful instead of overwhelming.

Fact-check before sharing. Look for named sources, direct quotes and links to official statements. If a headline sounds extreme, open the story and check the evidence before you pass it on. For developing issues, prefer outlets that update articles rather than republishing unverified claims.

Manage your time. Give yourself a 15-minute news check twice a day instead of constant scrolling. Use reader mode or text-only views to cut down on ads and load pages faster. If you read on mobile, save longer reads for Wi-Fi to avoid eating data.

We aim to make online news useful: quick updates, clear context and links for deeper reading.
