What it does
GroundUp publishes original South African reporting with attention to education, health, housing, sanitation, immigration and human rights.
Public-service reporting follows subjects such as municipal electricity revenue, water, housing and health through local communities. That focused approach is useful when a national policy debate needs a concrete account of how a service is delivered or funded. Social Grants guides and Housing Q&A provide practical routes beyond the news feed. Court Cases and Photo Essays are separate formats; editorials and opinion are labelled apart from reporting.
