Parody or news satire can be great entertainment tools. The problem starts when people spread it as gospel truth or when the producers become insensitive to the extent of announcing someone's "death".

I'm building a crowdsourced list of African fake news sites. The aim is not to take food off the website owners' table. I'm only hoping to increase awareness of news satire and for people to start sharing these "news" only for what they are.

Please help me to grow the list whenever you find any site that isn't listed. You can add it in the comment section below and I'll update the list.

This is also not about generating traffic to my blog. I just thought it would be useful for those who want a quick credibility check of source before sharing local "news". I often copy and paste the list into WhatsApp/Facebook groups when someone shares a link to a satirical article as credible source.
