Built for Africans,
by someone who went through it
CabaraNews exists because the immigration guides online were either too vague, too American, or written by people who had never actually applied for a visa themselves.
About the author
I'm Dr. Alex — a Zimbabwean academic who came to the United Kingdom to pursue a doctorate in Political Science and International Relations. What I didn't expect when I arrived was how complicated and poorly explained the immigration system would be.
I've been through it: student visa applications, the Graduate Route, the Skilled Worker pathway, dealing with international bank transfers, finding the right fintech card that actually works across borders. I learned most of it the hard way — through official documents, immigration forums, and a lot of frustrated Googling.
CabaraNews is my attempt to turn that hard-won knowledge into something useful. Every guide I write is grounded in official sources, real processes, and — where relevant — my own experience of going through the system.
My background in International Relations means I approach immigration policy with an understanding of why these rules exist, not just what they say. I think that context matters when you're trying to figure out what to do.
