Weekly SA Mirror is a 100% black-owned, BEE Level 1 start-up company with a mission to promote black advancement and empowerment. It was formed by a few experienced black journalists who left the mainstream media due to the contraction of newsrooms and the Covid pandemic in 2021.

The Mirror aims to inspire and empower readers, particularly the majority, to actively engage in shaping their own destinies and contributing to the drive to redress historical imbalances still dogging the present. It strives to help our readers to make sense of a fast-moving world by going beyond the headlines to connect politics, business, communities and culture—showing how today’s decisions shape tomorrow’s lives.

Our journalism prioritises context, credibility and accountability, giving readers insight they can trust.
