13. Content Notes

  • Page type: Sector Hub. Intent: Navigational / Informational. Cluster: Government Contact Directory.
  • Schema direction: CollectionPage; add FAQ schema only if the final page includes FAQs and use BreadcrumbList where appropriate.
  • Official source checks:
    • https://www.gov.za/
    • https://www.gov.za/about-government/contact-directory
  • Source specificity status: Official source captured; exact contact/support/complaint/fraud page must be verified during article QA.
  • Verification requirement: Yes.
  • Planning notes: Added as canonical section hub after sitemap reconciliation. Should remain indexable.
  • For government pages, distinguish department, agency, municipality and regulator routes; avoid assuming one contact channel handles every issue.
  • Do not invent: phone numbers, email addresses, WhatsApp numbers, online forms, complaint routes, fraud routes, payment details, emergency routes or escalation steps.
  • Anti-cannibalisation: keep this page focused on its exact primary keyword and URL intent. Use internal links rather than expanding into sibling page topics.
  • Publication caution: verify exact contact details on the official website before acting or publishing final copy.
