Disclaimer
Who Owns Africa is a Pan-African digital media platform focused on business, economics, finance, investment, technology, entrepreneurship, education, markets and developments across Africa. The information published on whoownsafrica.com is intended primarily for general information, journalism, analysis and public-interest purposes.
We aim to provide accurate, independent and responsibly sourced information. However, readers should understand that no publication can guarantee that every piece of information will remain accurate, complete or current at all times. Information can change rapidly, particularly in financial markets, business, government policy, technology, law and other areas covered by this publication.
This Disclaimer explains the general terms under which readers should use information published on Who Owns Africa.
Accuracy and verification
Who Owns Africa makes reasonable efforts to verify information before publication. Our editorial approach places a strong emphasis on accuracy, fairness, attribution, context and transparency.
Where appropriate, we seek information from official documents, government institutions, companies, regulators, public records, research organisations, industry experts, interviews and other credible sources. We distinguish, as far as reasonably possible, between established facts, analysis, commentary, estimates, forecasts and allegations.
Nevertheless, errors can occur. Information supplied by third parties may subsequently prove to be incomplete, inaccurate or outdated. Figures, statistics, company information, market data, quotations and other details may also change after publication.
Readers should therefore exercise appropriate judgment when relying on information published on this website.
Our editorial standards are informed by widely recognised principles of accuracy, fairness, balance, independence and transparent corrections. These principles are consistent with the professional standards expected of responsible journalism.
No financial or investment advice
Nothing published on Who Owns Africa should be interpreted as financial, investment, trading, accounting, tax or legal advice.
Articles discussing companies, stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, cryptocurrencies, property, investment opportunities, financial markets or economic developments are provided for informational and journalistic purposes only.
Readers should not make investment or financial decisions solely on the basis of information appearing on this website. Before making an investment or entering into a financial transaction, readers should conduct their own research and, where appropriate, seek advice from a qualified and independently regulated professional.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Financial markets involve risk, and the value of an investment may rise or fall. Who Owns Africa does not guarantee any particular financial outcome from information, analysis or opinions published on the website.
Where an article contains projections, forecasts or expectations about future economic or business conditions, those statements are inherently uncertain and should not be treated as guarantees of future performance.
Business and company information
Who Owns Africa publishes information about companies, executives, entrepreneurs, investors, institutions and organisations for legitimate journalistic and public-interest purposes.
Company valuations, revenues, ownership structures, financial results, market positions, business plans and other corporate information may change. Some information may also originate from company statements, regulatory filings, public records, interviews or other third-party sources.
The publication of information about a company or individual does not necessarily constitute an endorsement, recommendation or criticism by Who Owns Africa.
Where allegations, disputes or adverse claims are reported, we seek to provide relevant context and, where reasonably possible, an opportunity for affected parties to respond. Kenyan media standards require journalists and media enterprises to make reasonable efforts to seek comments from persons mentioned adversely and to distinguish fact from comment, conjecture and allegation.
Opinions, analysis and commentary
Who Owns Africa may publish opinion pieces, analysis, commentary, interviews and contributed material alongside fact-based journalism.
Such material may reflect the views of the author, contributor, analyst, researcher or interviewee and does not necessarily represent the views of Who Owns Africa, its editors, owners, employees or contributors.
Readers should distinguish clearly between reported facts and analysis or opinion. Where an article expresses an interpretation, forecast or assessment, it should be understood within that context.
Third-party information
Who Owns Africa may reference information supplied by governments, public institutions, companies, financial institutions, research organisations, analysts, experts, news agencies, social media platforms and other third parties.
The publication of such information does not mean that Who Owns Africa independently guarantees every statement made by the third party.
Where a source is relevant to understanding a claim, we seek to identify the source clearly. Anonymous or confidential sources may be used in circumstances where there is a legitimate public-interest reason to protect the source, subject to editorial judgment.
Advertising and sponsored content
Who Owns Africa may generate revenue through advertising, sponsorships, partnerships, affiliate arrangements, branded content, events, memberships and other commercial activities.
Commercial relationships do not automatically constitute editorial endorsement.
Sponsored articles, branded content and other paid material should be clearly identified where applicable. Editorial decisions should remain separate from commercial interests.
Who Owns Africa seeks to maintain editorial independence and does not intend for advertisers, sponsors, investors or commercial partners to determine the outcome of independent news coverage.
Kenya’s current Code of Media Practice requires media enterprises to maintain editorial independence, manage conflicts of interest and clearly distinguish sponsored material from independent journalism.
Affiliate links and commercial recommendations
Some pages or articles may contain affiliate links or other commercial references through which Who Owns Africa may receive compensation if a reader purchases a product or service.
Where applicable, commercial relationships will not be presented as independent editorial endorsements unless clearly identified as such.
Readers should conduct their own assessment of products, services, companies or investment opportunities before making a purchase or entering into an agreement.
External links
Who Owns Africa may provide links to third-party websites, documents, databases, social media platforms or other external resources for additional information or context.
We do not control the content, availability, privacy practices, security or accuracy of external websites. The inclusion of an external link does not necessarily mean that Who Owns Africa endorses the organisation, product, service, opinion or information contained on that website.
Readers access third-party websites at their own discretion and should review the applicable terms and privacy policies of those websites.
Artificial intelligence and digital tools
Who Owns Africa may use technology, including artificial intelligence and other digital tools, in aspects of research, production, editing, data analysis, translation, transcription, image creation or other publishing processes.
The use of technological tools does not remove editorial responsibility. Material intended for publication should be subject to appropriate human editorial review, verification and judgment.
AI-generated or digitally enhanced material should not be assumed to represent a photograph, statement, event or document exactly as it occurred unless the publication clearly identifies its nature and context.
Images, illustrations, graphics and visualisations may be used to explain or represent a story. Readers should consider the accompanying captions and labels when determining whether an image is documentary, illustrative, archival or digitally generated.
Corrections
Who Owns Africa recognises that journalism is accountable to its readers.
If we identify a material factual error, we will seek to correct it promptly and transparently. Corrections may be made to the original article, accompanied where appropriate by an explanatory note.
We also welcome credible information from readers, organisations and individuals who believe that an article contains a significant factual error.
Requests for corrections should identify the specific claim in question and, where possible, provide reliable supporting evidence.
The current Kenyan Code of Media Practice requires prompt correction of inaccuracies and provides for a fair opportunity to respond where reasonably called for. It also requires inaccurate digital content to be amended or removed with an explanatory note where appropriate.
Right of reply
Individuals and organisations mentioned in Who Owns Africa’s coverage may contact the editorial team if they believe that material is inaccurate, materially incomplete or requires clarification.
Where appropriate, we may publish a response, correction, clarification or update. Editorial decisions concerning the form, length and placement of a response will remain subject to normal editorial judgment and applicable law.
Privacy and personal information
Who Owns Africa respects the privacy of individuals and recognises that journalism must balance the public interest with legitimate expectations of privacy.
We may publish personal information where there is a legitimate public-interest justification, where the information is lawfully available from public sources, or where publication is otherwise justified under applicable law and professional standards.
We do not intend this Disclaimer to replace or override the site’s Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy or other specific notices governing the collection and use of personal information.
No guarantee of availability
Who Owns Africa does not guarantee that the website, individual articles, databases, archives, links or other digital services will always be available, uninterrupted or free from technical errors.
Content may be updated, corrected, amended, archived or removed without prior notice.
Limitation of responsibility
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Who Owns Africa and its owners, editors, journalists, contributors, employees and affiliates shall not be responsible for losses, damages or consequences arising solely from a reader’s reliance on information published on the website.
This includes, where legally permitted, financial losses, business decisions, investment decisions, loss of profits, loss of data or other consequences resulting from reliance on information, analysis, forecasts, opinions or third-party material published on the platform.
Nothing in this Disclaimer is intended to exclude or limit liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law.
Changes to this Disclaimer
Who Owns Africa may update this Disclaimer from time to time to reflect changes in its editorial practices, business operations, technology, applicable law or regulatory requirements.
The latest version will be published on this page. Readers are encouraged to review the Disclaimer periodically.
Contact and accountability
Who Owns Africa welcomes legitimate questions, corrections and concerns relating to its journalism and published information.
Our commitment is straightforward: report accurately, provide context, distinguish fact from opinion, seek fair comment, disclose relevant interests and correct significant errors when they occur.
The purpose of this Disclaimer is not to diminish our responsibility to readers. It is to make clear the nature and limits of information published by a digital news organisation operating in a rapidly changing information environment.
Who Owns Africa is committed to serving its readers through independent, credible and public-interest journalism about Africa and its place in the global economy.
