About the Creator

I’m Ellis Hampton, a South African journalist and researcher with over a decade of experience covering African affairs. Growing up in Cape Town, I witnessed firsthand how misunderstood and underreported our continent’s stories can be. That’s why I founded Tubular Track News—to create a platform where African narratives are told with nuance, pride, and precision.

Why This Website Exists

Africa is often reduced to headlines of crisis or clichés of poverty. But the truth is far richer. There’s innovation in every corner, resilience in every community, and brilliance in every voice. Tubular Track News exists to amplify those truths. We don’t just report events—we explain their roots, their impact, and their meaning.

Our Values

Our work is guided by three core principles: accuracy, context, and respect. Every article is researched thoroughly, fact-checked meticulously, and written with cultural sensitivity. We don’t chase clicks—we chase understanding. Our readers deserve more than headlines; they deserve insight.
