New South African Fact Checking Organisation 02 Nov 2012

South Africans now have their first fact checking organisation, in the mold of similar initiatives in the US and Europe.

From their website:

Africa Check is an independent, non-partisan organisation which assesses claims made in the public arena using journalistic skills and evidence drawn from the latest online tools, readers, public sources and experts, sorting fact from fiction and publishing the results.

Their team includes the science writer and physician, Ben Goldacre, who we have featured in a previous post.
