We hold public figures accountable
For democracy to function, public figures need to be held to account for what they say. The claims they make need to be checked, openly and impartially.
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.
