About Us
Welcome to Quarry Lake Daily News
Thank you for visiting Quarry Lake Daily News — your trusted source for timely, thoughtful, and comprehensive coverage of the African continent. We believe that staying informed isn’t just a habit — it’s a responsibility, especially in a region as dynamic and diverse as Africa.
What We Do / Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to deliver accurate, unbiased, and deeply contextual news that reflects the real stories happening across Africa. We go beyond headlines to uncover the human experiences behind the headlines — from bustling marketplaces in Lagos to policy debates in Pretoria, from cultural renaissances in Dakar to economic shifts in Johannesburg.
Topics We Cover
We cover a wide range of subjects that shape life across the continent:
- Politics: Governance, elections, policy changes, and civic engagement
- Business & Economy: Innovation, trade, entrepreneurship, and financial trends
- Culture & Lifestyle: Arts, music, film, traditions, and social movements
- Environment & Sustainability: Climate action, conservation, and resource management
- Community Stories: Local voices, grassroots initiatives, and everyday heroes
About the Creator
Quarry Lake Daily News was founded by Amara Caldwell, a South African journalist and storyteller with over 15 years of experience reporting across the continent. Born and raised in Cape Town, Amara has worked with regional broadcasters, written for international publications, and spent countless hours listening to communities — from rural villages to urban centers — to understand what truly matters to the people of Africa. This website is her passion project: a space where journalism serves the public, not just the algorithm.
Why This Website Exists
Amara created Quarry Lake Daily News after noticing how often African stories were either oversimplified or overlooked by global media. She wanted to build a platform that honored the complexity, resilience, and vibrancy of African life — not as a spectacle, but as a reality lived by millions every day. This is not just a news site. It’s a conversation.
Our Values/Approach
We believe in:
- Accuracy over speed: We verify every fact before publishing
- Context over clickbait: We explain why things matter, not just what happened
- Representation over stereotypes: We center African voices and perspectives
- Transparency: We disclose our sources and correct errors openly
Our team works with local correspondents, independent journalists, and community contributors to ensure our reporting is grounded in real experience.
