Our story on the appointment of Fish Mahlalela as a chairperson of the Select Committee on Public Accounts headlined "Mahlalela unfit" wrongly created an impression that the Democratic Alliance's opposition to the appointment was based on their disapproval of Mahlalela as a person.

The DA objected to the position going to any member of the ruling party and not to the person of Mahlalela. We apologise for the error and any inconvenience it might have created.
