At South African Embassy Japan (https://saembassyjapan.org/), we are committed to providing accurate, reliable, and well-researched information related to government aid schemes from South Africa, Australia, Canada, and the United States, as well as insights into rare U.S. and U.K. coins. Our fact-checking policy ensures that all published content meets the highest standards of credibility and correctness.

1. Commitment to Accuracy

We strive to present verified and fact-based information. Every article goes through a rigorous fact-checking process before publication to ensure accuracy, clarity, and credibility. We do not publish unverified claims, rumors, or speculative content.

2. Source Verification

Our content is based on information from reliable and authoritative sources, including:

  • Official government websites (e.g., government portals of South Africa, Australia, Canada, and the U.S.)
  • Central banks, financial institutions, and economic reports
  • Reputable coin valuation guides and numismatic resources
  • Academic and historical records related to rare coins

We cross-check multiple sources before presenting any information to ensure factual accuracy.

3. Editorial Review Process

Before an article is published, it undergoes a multi-step editorial review process:

  1. Research & Data Collection – Writers gather information from verified sources.
  2. Initial Draft & Verification – The first draft is checked against primary sources for factual correctness.
  3. Editorial Review – Editors review the content for clarity, objectivity, and accuracy.
  4. Final Fact-Check – A final review is conducted before publishing the article.

4. Corrections & Updates

Despite our best efforts, errors may occasionally occur. If we discover or are notified of an inaccuracy in our content, we promptly:

  • Review the claim and verify it with credible sources.
  • Update the content with correct information and provide a revision date.
  • Issue a correction notice, if necessary, to inform readers of the update.

Readers are encouraged to report any discrepancies or outdated information by contacting us at [email protected].

5. Transparency & Accountability

We do not publish content influenced by personal opinions, political bias, or external sponsorships. Our primary focus is to deliver factual and neutral information to our readers.

By adhering to these fact-checking principles, South African Embassy Japan remains a trusted and authoritative source for government aid news and numismatic insights.
