KZN Provincial Gazettes and Legislation ONLINE!

KZN Provincial Gazettes and Legislation ONLINE!
Does the State not have a responsibility to make its Provincial Gazettes and Legislation available to its citizens in updated form at no cost?

The State produces the information (Provincial Gazettes and Legislation).
Why, then, should companies in the private sector be given free reign to distribute this information back to the State and its citizens at substantial cost to the State and its citizens?
The Chief Directorate: State Law Advisory Services (CD: SLAS)in the Office of the Premierhas, in the interest of improving service delivery to the citizens of KwaZulu-Natal, formed a strategic partnership with the KwaZulu-Natal Law Societyto make the Provincial Gazettes and Legislation of the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Governmentavailable to the public online and free of charge in the three official languages of the Province (isiZulu, English and Afrikaans).
The CD: SLAS hereby demonstrates its commitment to -
  • the mainstreaming and institutionalising of Batho Pele (improved service delivery in a people-centric public service culture) and the KZN Citizens' Charter;
  • the concept of multilingualism espoused in section 6 of the Constitution, 1996; and
  • the concept of e-Government.
This will also effect savings for the Provincial Government -
  • by reducing the number of hard copies of Provincial Gazettes and Legislation which will have to be printed; and
  • by reducing postage costs attendant to the mailing of hard copies to subscribers.
We as Public Sector Lawyers in KZN must show that :
"We Belong, We Care, We Serve" (the Batho Pele "belief set")

Private and Public Schools in South Africa

Education in South Africa
South Africa has 12.3-million learners, some 386 600 teachers and 26 292 schools, including 1 098 registered independent or private schools. Of all schools, roughly 6 000 are high schools (grade 7 to grade 12) and the rest primary (grade 0 to grade 6).
In government-funded public schools, the average ratio of scholars (known as "learners" in terms of the country's outcomes-based education system) to teachers ("educators") is 32.6 to one, while private schools generally have one teacher for every 17.5 scholars.
The national Department of Education is responsible for education across the country as a whole, while each of the nine provinces has its own education department.
The central government provides a national framework for school policy, but administrative responsibility lies with the provinces. Power is further devolved to grass roots level via elected school governing bodies, which have a significant say in the running of their schools.
