# Daily Maverick 168 apologises for QR code caption

> On page 16, the letters page of Daily Maverick 168 newspaper published on Saturday 29 May, we published the Not In My Name petition signed by several Jewish South Africans. We erroneously included a QR code incorrectly captioned as offering a way to ‘add your name to the list of SA Jews opposed to the state of Israel’.

## Content

This was an error made by a designer who could not fit all the wording in and I did not check the final abridged version, so this is ultimately my error. The caption should have read, “... add your name to the list of SA Jews who oppose the recent (and ongoing) actions of the state of Israel.”

I apologise to all of the people whose names appeared on the petition, and to the organisers of the petition, for any harm or misunderstanding this error may have caused.
