Corrections

We correct mistakes quickly and openly.

Reporting an error

Email corrections@randdesk.co.za with the link to the story and what you believe is wrong. Include a source if you have one.

How we correct

• A factual error is fixed in the story, and a correction note says what was changed and when. If the error changed the meaning of the story, the note goes at the top, where readers will see it first; otherwise it goes at the foot.
• A spelling or typing error that does not change the meaning is fixed without a note.
• If a story is so wrong that it cannot be fixed, we replace it with an explanation rather than deleting it silently.
• The story’s “updated” time changes whenever its content changes.

We aim to respond to every correction request within one working day.
