About the Creator
Ginger Apple News was founded by Declan Mireku, a Cape Town-based journalist and media strategist with over 15 years of experience covering African affairs. Born and raised in Ghana and educated in South Africa, Declan has worked with regional broadcasters, NGOs, and newsrooms across the continent. He created Ginger Apple News out of a frustration with fragmented reporting and a deep belief that Africa’s narratives deserve clarity, depth, and dignity.
Why This Website Exists
Too often, African news is either overlooked or reduced to stereotypes. We built Ginger Apple News to change that. We’re not here to sensationalize or oversimplify. We’re here to inform—with nuance, context, and respect. Our readers aren’t just consumers of news; they’re part of a growing community that demands better storytelling about their continent.
Our Values
Every article we publish is guided by three core principles:
- Accuracy: We verify every fact before publication
- Independence: We answer to our readers, not to political or corporate interests
- Representation: We amplify voices from all corners of Africa
We don’t chase clicks. We chase understanding.
