Instagram — Follow Continental Scout Daily for fast pan‑African news

Want quick, visual updates from across Africa? Our Instagram feed delivers short video clips, breaking headlines, and behind‑the‑scenes snapshots so you can catch the story in seconds and read more on cmscout.co.za when you want details.

How we use Instagram

We post Reels for breaking stories and big moments — think protests, sports highlights, or major political announcements. Stories give you live updates, polls, and short explainers that won’t clutter your main feed. When a story needs context, we link the full article in our bio or in a Story sticker so you can jump straight to the full report.

Live sessions are for interviews, explainers, and Q&As with our reporters. Those lives stay in IGTV or saved highlights so you can watch later. We also share photo essays and short threads that spotlight culture, economic trends, and local community projects across the continent.

Quick tips to get the most from our Instagram

Find us by searching “Continental Scout Daily” or visiting cmscout.co.za for direct links. Tap the follow button and enable post and story notifications so you don’t miss urgent updates. Use the bookmark tool to save posts you want to read later — it’s perfect for long reads and explainers.

Want verification? Look for links back to full stories on cmscout.co.za, bylines, and timestamps in our posts. If a claim looks surprising, open the linked article — we include sources and quotes so you can verify fast. Don’t rely on screenshots alone; always check the original piece on our site.

Engage with us: comment when you have local tips, tag @ContinentalScoutDaily or mention our account in DMs to send photos and eyewitness accounts. We read DMs daily and we’ll reach back if we plan to use a tip. If you’re sharing a post, add the location and a short note so other followers get context.

Follow hashtags we use often: #PanAfricanNews, #AfricaNow, #ContinentalScout, #AfricaPolitics, and #AfricaSports. Hashtags help you find related coverage and see what other readers are saying about the same events.

For journalists and photographers: send captions, timestamps, and contact info when you pitch via DM or email. Clear details speed up verification and improve the chance we publish or credit your work. We prioritize on‑the‑ground sources and original media.

Finally, Instagram is great for speed but not for full analysis. Use our posts to stay informed quickly; click through to cmscout.co.za for deep reporting, background, and follow‑ups. Follow us, turn on alerts, and join the conversation — we cover the stories that matter to Africa, fast and visually.
