• An article stated that “Malawi elected its first female president in 2012: Joyce Banda”; while Banda assumed the presidency that year following the death of Bingu wa Mutharika, she was not elected (There’s good reason why strong female role models deter other women from aiming for the top, 16 April, p46).
• Developments in the long-running “Wagatha Christie” legal saga erroneously referred throughout to copyright; Rebekah Vardy has in fact trademarked that term (‘We didn’t see it coming’: Vardy’s new plot twist for Wagatha Christie play, 23 April, p10).
• A feature about efforts to revive populations of mountain gorillas referred to “Rwanda’s Virunga national park” when Volcanoes national park was meant; Virunga is in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. And Edward Whitley OBE, the founder of the Whitley Awards, was incorrectly given the honorific “Sir” (Champion of the gorillas”, 23 April, Magazine, p18).
