Corrections & transparency
When we get something wrong, we say so here. Clarifications that change how a story should be read are logged publicly — not buried in silence.
- •Witness claims labelled as such
Inside 'Cat' Matlala's SAPS testimony
Headlines and body copy were adjusted so that contested claims made in testimony are consistently attributed to the witness and not stated as established fact.
- •Clarified sourcing language
LEAKED: Hitman behind Sindiso Magaqa murder heard discussing R600k payment
We updated the story to make clearer which portions summarise publicly circulating audio and which portions are corroborated by other reporting. No factual finding was withdrawn.
- •Added link to judgment context
Thabo Makwakwa wins landmark SCA case against State Security Agency
We expanded the methodology note and emphasised that the ruling concerns publication rights, not a determination of the underlying intelligence allegations.
