Everyone has a role to play in #StopDisinformation. "If you didn't verify it, don't post it.

Last week we hosted a Global Media and Information Literacy Week WhatsApp dialogue under the theme “We All Play a Part: Making Sense of Information in the Digital Age,” featuring Samantha Sibanda, Executive Director of Signs of Hope, and hosted by Zanele Ndlovu.
The discussion explored media literacy as the ability to access, understand, question and verify information encountered across social media, radio, television and everyday conversations. Participants unpacked the differences between misinformation, disinformation and malinformation, highlighting how false or harmful information can affect individuals and communities.
The conversation also emphasised the importance of introducing media literacy in schools from an early age, strengthening critical thinking in the age of artificial intelligence, and promoting accountability among everyone who contributes to shaping public narratives, including journalists, media users and digital content creators.
A key takeaway was that not every mistake is deliberate, but everyone has a responsibility to verify information before sharing it. Participants agreed that, "If you didn't verify it, don't forward it. Forward okwaziyo ukuthi kuyiqiniso. We all play a part in building a more informed society."
