Our Commitment to Reliable Information
Makoya understands that people may rely on opportunity-related articles when deciding where to apply, which qualifications to pursue or how to prepare an application.
We therefore aim to present information responsibly, distinguish confirmed details from uncertainty and direct readers to the organisations responsible for the opportunities we cover.
Sources We Prioritise
When researching an opportunity, we prioritise relevant and accessible sources such as:
- Official employer career pages and recruitment notices.
- Government department and public institution announcements.
- Official SETA, university, college and training-provider websites.
- Designated programme pages and application portals.
- Reliable secondary publications where additional context is needed.
A source’s official appearance alone does not remove the need to check whether it relates to the correct opportunity, organisation and application period.
Details We Aim to Check
Where information is available, we aim to check:
- The organisation offering the opportunity.
- The position or programme title.
- Eligibility requirements and qualifications.
- Stipends, salaries, benefits or funding amounts.
- Programme duration and location.
- Application instructions and required documents.
- Application deadlines and official links.
Not every announcement contains all these details. When information cannot be established reliably, we should avoid inventing it or presenting an assumption as a confirmed fact.
Verification of Application Links
We aim to direct readers to official application channels whenever possible. Before relying on a link, readers should check the destination, the organisation’s identity and whether the opportunity is still open.
Makoya cannot guarantee the continued availability or security of every external website. Third-party pages may change, close or be moved after an article is published.

Stipends, Salaries and Benefits
Amounts stated in an article should reflect the available announcement or another reliable source. Readers should check whether a stated amount is monthly, annual, once-off, gross or subject to conditions.
We do not intend to imply that every participant will receive the same amount where payments depend on eligibility, attendance, programme rules or other conditions.
Deadlines and Changes
Closing dates and programme requirements may change. We aim to include dates when reliable information is available and review credible reports of changes.
Readers should confirm the latest deadline and requirements directly with the responsible organisation before submitting an application.
When Information Is Unclear
If reliable sources conflict or an important detail cannot be confirmed, we aim to avoid presenting the disputed detail as certain. Where appropriate, an article may explain the uncertainty or direct readers to contact the responsible organisation.
The absence of a detail from an article should not be interpreted as confirmation that the requirement does not exist.
Reader Reports
Readers can help improve accuracy by reporting errors, expired opportunities or suspicious application links through our Contact Us page.
Please provide the article URL and, where possible, an official source supporting the proposed correction. We review reports on their merits and may amend content when the evidence supports doing so.
Limitations
Makoya publishes information for general guidance. Our fact-checking process cannot guarantee that every third-party announcement is complete, that every opportunity remains available or that every external source is free from error.
The organisation offering an opportunity remains the authoritative source for its current requirements, selection process and final decisions.
