Independent journalism, built for South Africa
talmerov was founded to give South African readers a trustworthy, independent source for news, media and entertainment coverage.
A newsroom built on trust
talmerov started as a small team of reporters covering local stories in Braamfontein. Today, our newsroom spans correspondents in all nine provinces, reporting on national news, media and entertainment with the same commitment to accuracy that guided our first stories.
We believe readers deserve reporting they can trust, free from spin and free from outside influence. We subscribe to the South African Press Code, answer to the Press Ombud, belong to SANEF, and use PAIA to prise loose the records that matter. That belief shapes every decision we make in the newsroom.
18 years of independent reporting across South Africa
