    It is with immense sadness that I read of what Ukrainians are going through under Putin’s machinations. Until it stops Russians should be uninvited from all international events, political, scientific, sporting (including tennis). And not just those with ICC arrest warrants.

      Putin’s first victims were ordinary Russians: journalists have been assassinated and many activists locked up for years, while many have fled rather than fight. Why punish them? I don’t identify with our corrupt government any more than many Russians and citizens of other autocratic countries do with theirs. If S.A. is sanctioned, would you like to be included or would you prefer targeted sanctions on government and their corrupt cronies?

It’s hard to imagine South Africa without journalism. Then again, it was unthinkable that we would be without electricity as much as we are. Daily Maverick is free to read. We don’t have a paywall because we believe that everyone, regardless of their financial status, should be able to access the news. Which gives our journalism a greater chance of broader impact on society.

If you agree that our work makes South Africa a better place (and want to see us keep doing it) then please consider joining Maverick Insider and supporting our journalism.

MavericKids vol 3

How can a child learn to read if they don't have a book?

81% of South African children aged 10 can't read for meaning. You can help by pre-ordering a copy of MavericKids.

For every copy sold we will donate a copy to Gift of The Givers for children in need of reading support.

A South African Hero: You

There’s a 99.8% chance that this isn’t for you. Only 0.2% of our readers have responded to this call for action.

Those 0.2% of our readers are our hidden heroes, who are fuelling our work and impacting the lives of every South African in doing so. They’re the people who contribute to keep Daily Maverick free for all, including you.

The equation is quite simple: the more members we have, the more reporting and investigations we can do, and the greater the impact on the country.
