Corrections policy

We correct errors as quickly as we can. When we change a material fact, we note what was wrong and what we updated on the story page.

Principles

• Facts first. Primary sources preferred — gazettes, filings, on-record officials, named outlets.
• No invented quotes, death tolls, or anonymous-only bombshells.
• Clear labelling. Opinion is labelled Opinion.
• Independence. Coverage of companies and governments is editorial. Advertising, if introduced later, will be separated from news.
• No wire affiliation claims. AB24 is not AP, Reuters or AFP.
• Conflicts. Staff with material conflicts recuse; the publisher line remains James King.
• Company subjects. Reporting on firms such as SAEV Charge, Solar MD or SONAH Group does not imply ownership, sponsorship or publishing control by those firms.

How to request a correction

• Email [email protected] with: (1) the full story URL, (2) the exact passage you believe is wrong, (3) the corrected fact, and (4) a primary source link or document where possible.
• We aim to acknowledge within one business day (Africa/Johannesburg) and to publish a visible note on the story once the correction is verified.
• Disagreement with an Opinion judgment is not a correction; factual errors in Opinion are.

What we correct

Names, titles, figures, dates, locations, and any claim that misstates a verifiable fact. Spelling and grammar fixes that do not change meaning may be made quietly.

Opinion

Opinion pieces are labelled. We correct factual errors in opinion the same way; we do not “correct” matters of judgment.

Public corrections log
