Details
They don't collate later amendments, or changes through notices, in any way. This means that if you need to see the "real" most recent draft (including all amendments and updates by Regulation), you need to subscribe to a private legislation provider which is prohibitively expensive, even for practitioners. A new private service lawsofsouthafrica.up.ac.za makes many of the consolidated laws available for free in PDF form.
