Editorial Policy

Last Updated: 30 August 2026

At Fezile Nosenga, our goal is to provide South African job seekers, students and young people with useful, accurate and easy-to-understand information about employment, learnerships, skills development, education and career opportunities.

This Editorial Policy explains how we research, prepare, review, publish and update content on this website.

Our Editorial Mission

Our mission is to make career and opportunity information easier to find and understand.

We recognise that readers may use information published on this website when making important decisions about employment, education and training. We therefore aim to publish content responsibly and avoid knowingly publishing misleading or inaccurate information.

Our primary areas of coverage include:

  • Job vacancies
  • Learnerships
  • SETA programmes
  • Internships
  • Graduate programmes
  • Bursaries
  • Training and skills-development opportunities
  • CV and job-application guidance
  • Interview preparation
  • Career and employment guidance

How We Choose What to Publish

We select content based primarily on its potential usefulness to South African job seekers, students and people looking for skills-development opportunities.

An opportunity may be considered for publication when information about it is available from an employer, SETA, government institution, educational institution, training provider, recruitment platform or another source we consider reasonably reliable.

We may also publish educational articles that explain application processes, career concepts, qualifications, CV preparation and other topics relevant to our readers.

Our Sources

Where possible, we prioritise information obtained from primary and official sources.

These may include:

  • Official employer websites
  • Official SETA websites
  • South African government websites
  • Universities, TVET colleges and other educational institutions
  • Official recruitment portals
  • Accredited training providers
  • Official company career pages
  • Official statements and announcements
  • Verified social media accounts belonging to relevant organisations

Secondary sources may sometimes be used to identify an opportunity or provide additional context. However, important details should, where reasonably possible, be checked against an original or authoritative source.

Verification of Opportunities

Before publishing a job, learnership, internship or similar opportunity, we aim to verify important information where possible.

This may include checking:

  • The name of the organisation
  • Position or programme title
  • Minimum requirements
  • Location, where applicable
  • Closing date
  • Application method
  • Reference numbers
  • Stipend or salary information, when officially provided
  • Required documents
  • The original application source

Not every organisation publishes all of these details.

When information such as salary or stipend is not officially disclosed, we aim not to present an estimated amount as though it were confirmed.

Application Links

Where an official online application page is available, we aim to direct readers to the appropriate application source.

Some opportunities may require applications through an external recruitment platform, email address, employer portal or another authorised system.

Readers should always check the destination and instructions carefully before submitting personal information.

We do not guarantee that an external website will remain available or that an employer will continue accepting applications after an article has been published.

Original Content and Added Value

Our objective is not simply to reproduce vacancy advertisements.

When preparing content, we aim to organise and explain information in a way that makes it easier for readers to understand the opportunity and application process.

Depending on the topic, our articles may provide additional information such as:

  • Explanations of requirements
  • Application guidance
  • Required-document checklists
  • CV guidance
  • Interview preparation
  • Frequently asked questions
  • Background information about a programme
  • Advice for avoiding common application mistakes

Where information originates from another organisation, ownership of that organisation’s original material remains with the respective owner.

Accuracy

We make reasonable efforts to ensure information is accurate at the time of publication.

However, employment and training opportunities can change quickly. Employers and programme administrators may amend requirements, change closing dates, modify application procedures or withdraw opportunities.

For this reason, readers should confirm important details with the organisation responsible for an opportunity before applying or making decisions based on the information.

Updates

Articles may be updated when:

  • Application information changes
  • A closing date is extended
  • Requirements are amended
  • New information becomes available
  • An application link changes
  • An error is identified
  • Additional useful information becomes available

Where appropriate, the date on an article may be updated to reflect a meaningful revision.

We do not intentionally change publication dates merely to make old information appear new.

Expired Opportunities

Some articles relate to opportunities that are available only for a limited period.

Once an opportunity has closed, the article may be updated, archived, removed or retained for informational purposes.

We aim to avoid presenting a clearly expired opportunity as though applications are still open.

Readers should always check the closing date before beginning an application.

Corrections

We take factual errors seriously.

If we discover that information we have published is materially incorrect, we aim to investigate and correct it within a reasonable period.

Depending on the nature of the error, we may:

  • Correct the affected information
  • Add clarification
  • Update the article
  • Remove inaccurate information
  • Remove an article where necessary

Readers can report suspected errors through our Contact Us page.

More information about how we handle mistakes is available in our Corrections Policy.

Fact-Checking

Important factual claims should be checked against reliable sources where reasonably possible.

For job and learnership articles, particular attention is given to details that could affect whether or how a reader applies.

We distinguish, where possible, between information confirmed by a source and additional guidance provided by our editorial team.

More information is available in our Fact-Checking Policy.

Artificial Intelligence and Editorial Tools

Digital tools, including artificial intelligence tools, may be used to assist with tasks such as research organisation, editing, formatting, summarisation and improving readability.

The use of such tools does not remove our responsibility for the content we publish.

Content intended for publication should be reviewed for accuracy, relevance and usefulness. We do not intentionally publish automatically generated information without appropriate editorial oversight.

Editorial Independence

Our editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers.

Advertising relationships, affiliate relationships or commercial partnerships should not determine whether we describe an opportunity as legitimate, suitable or recommended.

Where content is sponsored or involves a commercial relationship that could reasonably affect a reader’s understanding of the content, we aim to disclose that relationship appropriately.

Advertising

This website may display advertising from third-party advertising networks, including Google.

Advertisements help support the operation and maintenance of the website.

Advertisers do not automatically receive editorial approval or endorsement simply because their advertisements appear on the website.

Advertising content should be distinguishable from our editorial content.

Sponsored Content

We may occasionally publish sponsored or commercially supported content.

Where applicable, sponsored content should be clearly identified so that readers can distinguish it from ordinary independent editorial content.

Payment for sponsored content does not permit an advertiser to require us to knowingly publish false or misleading information.

Affiliate Links

Some articles may contain affiliate links.

If a reader follows an affiliate link and completes a qualifying transaction, the website may receive compensation without necessarily increasing the price paid by the reader.

Where affiliate relationships are used, we aim to disclose them appropriately.

Commercial relationships should not override our responsibility to provide readers with useful and accurate information.

Jobs and Placement Guarantees

Fezile Nosenga does not control recruitment decisions made by employers, SETAs, training providers or educational institutions.

Publication of an opportunity on this website does not guarantee:

  • Employment
  • An interview
  • Acceptance into a learnership
  • Admission to a training programme
  • A bursary
  • An internship placement
  • Any other form of selection

Readers remain responsible for ensuring that they meet the requirements and submit applications correctly.

Avoiding Job Scams

We take the risk of employment scams seriously.

We encourage readers to be cautious when an individual or organisation:

  • Guarantees employment in exchange for payment
  • Requests unusual payments before employment
  • Uses suspicious contact information
  • Requests sensitive personal or banking information without a legitimate reason
  • Pretends to represent a well-known employer without evidence

If we become aware that an opportunity published on this website is fraudulent, we may remove it and, where appropriate, publish a warning or correction.

Independence From SETAs and Government

Fezile Nosenga is an independent information website.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, this website is not a SETA, government department, recruitment agency, employer or educational institution and is not officially affiliated with organisations mentioned in our articles.

References to companies, SETAs, government departments and other organisations are provided for informational purposes.

Their respective names, trademarks and logos remain the property of their owners.

Reader Responsibility

Although we aim to provide reliable information, readers should use our content as a starting point rather than as a substitute for official instructions.

Before applying, readers should confirm important information from the organisation responsible for the opportunity, particularly:

  • Closing dates
  • Eligibility requirements
  • Application procedures
  • Required documents
  • Salary or stipend information
  • Programme accreditation, where relevant

Feedback

Reader feedback helps us maintain the quality of our content.

If you believe an article contains incorrect, outdated or misleading information, please contact us through our Contact Us page and provide details of the information you believe should be reviewed.

We will assess legitimate correction requests and make changes where appropriate.

Our Commitment

Our editorial commitment is simple: to provide useful, understandable and responsibly prepared career and opportunity information to South African readers.

As the website grows, we will continue reviewing and improving our editorial standards.
