About Pepaala
Pepaala brings Zambia's news publishers together in one free app, so you can follow every story straight from the people who published it, without juggling a dozen websites.
Following 9 news publishers today, and counting.
What Pepaala Does
One app instead of many tabs
Stories from across Zambia's newsrooms and blogs arrive in a single feed. No more opening site after site to find out what happened today.
Real time, straight from the source
Pepaala checks every source every 30 minutes, and every 2 hours overnight. Each headline opens the full article on the publisher's own website, exactly as they wrote it.
News you can trust
Every story carries its publisher's name and links to the original. Readers flag false or misleading stories, and a story many readers report is pulled from the app until our moderators have reviewed it.
Shaped around you
Choose your favourite sources and their stories come first. Get notified about news from the outlets you follow, and hide stories you never want to see again.
Discover publishers you didn't know
Smaller outlets and independent blogs sit right next to the names you already read, so you find voices you may never have come across.
Free, with your privacy intact
Pepaala costs nothing. We don't sell your data or keep a record of what you read.
How We Handle Publishers' Work
Pepaala shows a headline, a short excerpt, an image and the publication date for each story. We never copy full articles. Every tap takes the reader to the publisher's website, where the full story, and the visit, belong to them.
