About the Creator
Ovio News Africa was founded by Lara Whitfield, a South African journalist and media professional with over 15 years of experience covering African affairs. Born and raised in Cape Town, Lara has reported from over 20 countries across the continent, witnessing firsthand the power of journalism to inform, inspire, and unite. She created Ovio News Africa out of a deep conviction that Africa’s stories deserve more than fragmented coverage—they need thoughtful, consistent, and courageous reporting.
Why This Website Exists
In a world where African narratives are often filtered through external lenses, Ovio News Africa was born to amplify authentic African voices. We exist because we believe Africa’s complexity, resilience, and innovation deserve a platform built by Africans, for Africans, and for the global audience that wants to understand the continent beyond stereotypes.

Accuracy, integrity, and fairness guide everything we do. We verify every fact, source every claim, and strive for balance in every story. We don’t chase clicks—we chase truth. Our team works tirelessly to ensure that what you read is not only timely, but trustworthy. We also prioritize diverse perspectives, giving space to voices often underrepresented in mainstream media.
