How we work
News South Africa writes its articles based on public sources such as official announcements and statistics from government departments, public institutions such as Statistics South Africa, the South African Reserve Bank and the National Treasury, and international organizations. Each language edition is written natively by our editorial team. We use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to organize material and write in multiple languages, and we publish only articles that pass our sourcing rules and quality checks. See our Editorial Standards for details.
