About za24.news and our editorial standards
za24.news is an independent digital publication covering the money, prices and rules that shape a South African household budget — fuel prices, interest rates, inflation, grants, tax deadlines and electricity tariffs.
How we report
Every article starts from published reports and official statements. We compare several sources, list them at the end of each article, and say plainly when sources disagree or when a figure has not been confirmed. We keep the strength of the original claim: an outlook stays an outlook, a proposal stays a proposal.
AI assistance and human review
Drafts are prepared with AI tools that work only from the cited sources. Since October 2026, articles signed by our desk are checked by an editor — names, numbers, dates and claims — against those sources before they are published. Other articles, including our archive, are produced automatically and may contain errors. The note at the end of every article says which kind it is, and we correct errors when they are reported.
Corrections
If you find an error, email [email protected] with the article link. We fix factual errors promptly and note the correction at the end of the article.
Advertising and independence
Advertising is kept separate from editorial content and is always labelled. Advertisers have no say in what we cover or how. To advertise with us, email [email protected].
