Are you considering submitting a story or article to Advocatus Africa? Well, at Advocatus, westand for truth, justice, and right. As a brand that falls within the intersection of faith (Church), culture, politics, and integral development, we prefer factual, timely, and unbiased stories, articles, opinions, commentaries, book reviews, and features that underscore these themes.
Advocatus Africa is a media-related charity and a subsidiary of MTNI that started in September 2018. Our name is drawn from the Roman origin of Advocatus, meaning a protector of public interest who acts with integrity. We are compelled by the “Great Commission” to act as witnesses in a digital courtroom, speaking for those who have been silenced.
