Our article Tinopona Katsande reveals infertility (NewsDay, January 15, 2014) referred to the subject as “Battered television and radio personality”.

Our readers strongly feel the use of the word “battered” to describe Ms Katsande was judgemental and demeaned her personality.

With the benefit of hindsight, we agree and we have spoken to Tino to unreservedly apologise to her.

By this note, we apologise to Tino and all our readers who were justifiably offended by our story.

We would like to thank our readers for pointing to us our error.
