Our attention has been drawn to newsletters circulating pupporting to come from Pambazuka News, usually containing a list of job adverts (often of a dubious nature). Pambazuka News always has a distinct structure. We never publish job adverts independent of the rest of the publication. The English version of the newsletter goes out each Thursday containing the feature article, comments and analyses, letters, Pan African Postcard, Blog Africa roundup and other artilces. On Fridays, the newsletter always has the title Links and Resources, and contains the summary of the remainder sections of the newsletter. Both newsletters have a standardised begining and ending giving information about Pambazuka News and where it is produced. In any case, we're sure our readers will be able to tell the difference from the quality which is the real Pambazuka News!

If you get newsletters that do no conform to this format, please exercise care: someone or somepeople are mimicking Pambazuka News to send out job adverts with, we presume, the intention of stealing your identity or carrying out some kind of fraud.
