Claim 2: “Twee Oseane-ultramarathon: SA se Jantjies en Steyn stap met louere weg”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim mentions Jantjies and Steyn at the Two Oceans ultramarathon. The evidence provided only contains a Wikipedia entry for Damian Willemse, a rugby player, and does not mention Jantjies or Steyn or the specific event outcome.

Claim 3: “DA se federale kongres: ‘Steenhuisen het mense weer in die DA laat glo’ – Macpherson”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim references a specific statement ('Macpherson stated... Steenhuisen restored people's faith in the DA') which is not directly confirmed by the provided Wikipedia snippets. The evidence only confirms that Dean Macpherson and John Steenhuisen are DA politicians, but does not contain the specific quote or context of Macpherson praising Steenhuisen in this manner. Since no other sources corroborate this specific statement, it cannot be marked as corroborated.
