Media monitoring in Southern Africa

Southern Africa is our home market. From Gaborone and Johannesburg we monitor the region's newspapers, radio, television, online news and social media, including the regional weeklies and community stations that international platforms miss.

Our home market

We started in Botswana and built our coverage outwards across the region. South Africa's broadcast and print sector, Botswana's weeklies, Mozambique's Portuguese-language press and radio, and the national titles of Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Malawi all sit in one feed.

Languages

Coverage is read in English, Portuguese, Afrikaans and the region's other languages, in the form it was published.

We set up monitoring in any of these countries on request, scoped to the outlets, languages and topics you need.

Questions

Can you monitor a country that is not listed here?

Yes. We set up monitoring in any African country on request, scoped to the outlets, languages and topics you need. Tell us the market and we will confirm the sources we can cover before you commit.

How quickly will I hear about a story?

Alerts go out at the moment a story publishes, across every channel in your scope, rather than in a digest the next morning.

Can I try Social Light before paying?

Yes. Creating an account takes about ten minutes and does not ask for a card. Nothing is charged until you choose a package. You can also book a demo, or take our free media intelligence assessment.
