At SAFutureLink, we want to help South Africans find and understand information about education, funding, training and opportunities.
We understand that job, learnership, internship, bursary, NSFAS and skills opportunities can have an impact on a person’s studies and career. Therefore, we aim to provide useful, clear, accurate and responsible information.
This editorial policy outlines the process we follow to research, create, review and update our content.
Our Editorial Approach
SAFutureLink is run and created by Lerato Mohapi who is passionate about providing South Africans with accurate, reliable and easy to understand information regarding educational, funding and opportunities.
We don’t just copy the content from an opportunity. We provide readers with clear and easy to understand information to help them know what they need to know to apply. We break down what the requirements are, how to apply and key dates.
We aim to help bridge the gap between education and employment by providing useful information.
Where We Find Our Information
Where available we will use official sources to find information about the opportunities we publish.
Depending on the type of opportunity we will use:
- Official Company/Opportunity Provider Websites
- Official Government Department Websites
- Official University/COLLEGE Websites
- Official Bursary Funding Provider Websites
- Official Programme Training Provider Websites
- Other official primary sources run by the organisation.
We will never try to make you think we are using an unofficial source as though it is coming from the employer, university, government department or programme.
Where an official source is available we will use this as our main source of information.
Verifying Opportunities
Where possible we will try to ensure all the information we have matches with the official source.
We will ensure the following information matches:
- Opportunity Title
- Opportunity Provider
- Eligibility Requirements
- Education Requirements
- Location
- Length of opportunity (if applicable)
- Stipend/Funding (if stated by official source)
- How to Apply
- Closing Date (if applicable)
- Official How to Apply Page
We want to provide you with accurate information based on what has been published by the opportunity provider.
Where there is unclear, missing or changing information we will not make assumptions.
How to Apply Officially
Where there is an official how to apply page we will try to direct you to the correct source.
Always check the original how to apply page as requirements, application process and closing dates may change after our article has been published.
We never apply on your behalf unless stated.
Our Originality
We aim to provide more than just a copy of an vacancy, bursary or programme.
Our articles may help make things clearer to you. We may provide some context around the eligibility requirements, how to apply and what you need to know.
We aim to provide you with useful content.
The information we gather from an official source is used as our source material. Our articles are written for our readers and may provide explanations, organisation, context and practical advice.
Use of Digital Tools
We may use digital tools including artificial intelligence.
These tools can help us write, restructure, edit, summarise or make our content easier to read.
However, we will still have an editorial process.
Our content will be reviewed to ensure it is:
- Accurate to the source.
- No untrue claims are made.
- Relevant to you.
- Easy to read.
- Provides useful context.
- Not trying to mislead you about an organisation.
Official Sources
We will always use official sources as our main source of verification.
Accuracy
Whilst we will do our best to ensure the information is accurate, opportunities can change.
Requirements, closing dates, vacancies and more may change from the employer, government department, university, college or programme.
If we become aware any of the information we have published is incorrect or needs clarification we may update the article.
If you notice any errors, outdated information or major changes please let us know.
When contacting us about a correction please provide us with the relevant article and any supporting information.
Closing Dates
Opportunities can become outdated if the closing date has passed or the organisation no longer accepts applications.
As the organisation will be in charge of their application system please always check the official how to apply source.
This should be seen as the final source of whether they are currently taking applications.
If we become aware of any major changes we may update the information.
Independence
We are an independent information site.
We are not associated with, owned by or run by any employers, universities, colleges, government departments, bursary providers or any other organisations. Unless we state there is a specific relationship.
By mentioning an organisation or providing information about an opportunity it does not mean we endorse, partner or are associated with them.
Please always check the official website/application of the organisation.
Sponsored/Paid Content
We currently do not have any paid/sponsored content.
In the future if we do we will clearly state this.
Feedback
We value your feedback. This can help us find any incorrect information.
If you notice any errors, outdated opportunities, incorrect requirements or anything else please contact us using our Contact Us page.
We will look into any legitimate corrections.
Our Editorial
Our aim is to create a trusted information source for South Africans regarding education and employment opportunities.
We believe you deserve accurate, useful, clear, transparent and responsible information.
As we grow our editorial process will develop but we will always aim to provide you with practical information to help you understand your opportunities.
