Scrolla is a South African, mobile‑first news publisher serving readers who rely on their phones for news. Founded in 2019 by editor and entrepreneur Mungo Soggot and launched in 2020, the outlet publishes in English and isiZulu and focuses on straightforward reporting for data‑conscious audiences. Its newsroom mixes quick, on‑the‑ground updates with deeper investigations and accountability journalism; during the Covid‑19 lockdown it was first to reveal the death of Collins Khosa after an assault by soldiers, a case that sparked national debate. The publisher distributes widely on low‑data and data‑free channels — including its Scrolla Data Lite site and app, MTN’s Ayoba and the Moya messaging platform — and operates a verified WhatsApp channel to reach township and rural readers without paywalls. Coverage spans politics, community issues, sport and entertainment alongside practical features such as job listings, daily prayers and horoscopes. Scrolla subscribes to South Africa’s Press Council Code and maintains a visible corrections record; all articles are reviewed by editors, with AI tools used only for assistance. Published by Olduvai (Pty) Ltd and based in Johannesburg, Scrolla’s leadership and contributors include veteran South African journalists such as Zukile Majova, Everson Luhanga, Phillip van Niekerk and Toby Shapshak. It also experiments with formats, including a bilingual podcast, Ezinohlonze, that switches between English and isiZulu.
