Every amount, threshold, date and procedure on this site comes from one of the official South African government sources listed below. No fact is based on news reports, other websites or social media. Each page names the source it relies on in its source note.

Each article ends with a source note naming the publication the facts came from and the month they were last confirmed. Where a specific figure has its own source, it is linked in the sentence that states it. The full checking process is on how we verify.
If an official source publishes something these outlets reported, it is added then — and not before. Found an official source we should be using? Send it over.
