It seems like the law is yet to be passed (see http://co.za/ect/) Is that right? HTML of the legislation is at http://co.za/ect/html1/ I've been trying to look up the official South African govt site at: http://www.parliament.gov.za/pls/portal30/url/page/parliamentary_bills and http://www.parliament.gov.za/pls/portal30/url/page/parliamentary_acts - but keep getting a "Service Temporarily Unavailable" message.
