Bocha is a South African publication reporting on and exploring stories around sustainability, innovation and change.

We cover sustainability across energy, food, fashion, business and everyday life, focusing on the ideas and conversations shaping the future.

 We are not an advocacy organisation. We are a journalistic independent media publication, published by Penoptic Digital, a journalist-founded and run company. We are a young and curious, but skilled newsroom interested in exploring sustainability from multiple perspectives.

Anyone interested in how the world is changing, from professionals and students to curious readers who want to understand sustainability in a South African context.

Our focus is South Africa, but we also explore stories across the African continent, recognising how closely connected our challenges and solutions are.

 We welcome story ideas and contributions. Please contact us via our submissions or contact page. Our email address is storyideas@bochanews.com

Please be aware that decisions regarding the publishing of stories lay solely with the editorial staff. We will only consider and publish stories that align with our editorial standards and resource capacity.

Yes, where relevant. We include perspectives that add to the wider conversation on sustainability and change. Our selection is informed by alignment with our editorial standards and resource capacity.
