Jhb holidaymakers attacked
Durban - A gang of robbers bundled three holidaymakers from Johannesburg into a combi in the middle of the night and took off towards the Mozambican border with four vehicles they had stolen from a hotel in northern KwaZulu-Natal.
Police suspect 10 robbers, one of them armed with an AK47 assault rifle and the rest with pistols, have been involved in a spate of cross-border hijackings in Maputaland in the northern parts of KwaZulu-Natal.
The latest attack was at least about the eighth on lodges and tourists since December and so far more than 14 4x4s have been stolen and taken across the border to Mozambique.
In the latest attack a gang of robbers hit on Ghost Mountain Inn at Mkuze on Monday night, said police spokesperson Superintendent Jay Naicker.
Convoy of cops
The gang overpowered three security guards at about 23:30 and took them to reception where they demanded the keys to four of the vehicles in the parking lot.
The employee behind the reception desk gave them the keys to two of the hotel's game viewing vehicles, but told them the two other vehicles, a Volkswagen Caravelle and a Land Rover Freelander, belonged to guests.
The man was forced to go to the guests' rooms to fetch the keys.
Three of the guests, two women and a man from Johannesburg, who were on holiday, were forced to travel with the robbers, said Craig Rutherford, the owner of the hotel.
Mkuze police were informed the moment the robbers left and they in turn informed their colleagues in eManguzi that the gang might be making their way towards the border.
About 30km before eManguzi the robbers noticed the convoy of police vehicles, stopped and fled into the night.
They abandoned the four vehicles, the tourists and the rest of their loot, said Rutherford.
They escaped into the bushes under cover of darkness, said Naicker.
Rutherford praised the police for their quick reaction. "The robberies and hijackings have been going on for quite a while. But the police are making it difficult for them and the attacks are more often being foiled," he said.

'Her phone just went dead'
Cape Town - A Wellington bailiff phoned his daughters and his brother-in-law and told them how he had stabbed his wife six times in the chest, in front of pupils and parents at a preparatory school in Durbanville.
Johan Strauss, 49, who has been arrested for the murder of Minette Jordaan-Strauss, 38, apparently also hired a private detective to track her down after she left their Wellington home three weeks ago and moved to Durbanville.
There were getting divorced.
Strauss, a former policeman, tried to commit suicide after the gruesome murder on Tuesday afternoon at the Durbanville preparatory school, by driving off Bain's Kloof Pass in dramatic fashion in his luxury BMW.
He was taken into custody there.
Sharpened the knives
Captain Elliot Sinyangana said he would appear at the Bellville Magistrate's Court on Friday on a murder charge.
Minette Jordaan-Strauss is survived by three daughters (aged 19, 16 and 15) and a nine-year-old son from a previous marriage. She was waiting to collect her son at the school when she was murdered.
A crying Adéle le Roux told Die Burger on Wednesday that her sister was like a mother to her.
"We don't have parents and we told each other everything. They were getting a divorce and she was fleeing from him."
"I still spoke to her at about 13:35 (on Tuesday) while she was waiting for the little one (outside the school).
"She had a fright and said I should phone back because Johan had just stopped behind her (in his vehicle). I said she should call me when she was safe but her phone went dead. At about 14:30 the school phoned to say she was dead."
Le Roux said after the incident Strauss had "phoned his children and my brother and told him that he had killed my sister. His daughters phoned me about it."
Minette, who had been married to Johan for less than two years, worked with him in the bailiff's office before she moved out.
"She told him last Wednesday they could talk when the hurt had passed. He wanted her to choose between him and the children.
"We're shattered, so are the children. They're going through hell and are getting psychological counselling. It's very traumatic. We don't know how we're going to be able to bury her amid all this shock and pain."
School had just ended
A post-mortem is still being done. Le Roux says the funeral will be held in the NG church in Wellington North as soon as possible.
"We know he had his knives sharpened in the Cape last week. No one knew where the little boy was at school, but he hired a private detective to find out."
Dolph Nortier, the principal, said school had just ended when the incident occurred at about 14:15.
"We gave the boy the necessary support. He insisted on Wednesday on going to Bloemfontein with his friends on a sports tour. We thought it would be good for him.
"Luckily some of the younger pupils had already gone home and we saw to it that the others weren't exposed to the incident.
"Our teachers and pupils received wonderful support and trauma counselling from the police, the Department of Education and the school community. It was school as usual on Wednesday."

Kinders midde-in roof-drama
Twee kinders van ’n polisie-superintendent het gister huilend uit die Standard Bank in Gerrit Maritzstraat in Pretoria-Noord gevlug nadat sowat tien rowers met ’n tienpond-hamer en vuurwapens op die bank toegesak het.
Nog ’n polisie-superintendent moes met sy slapende kleindogter in sy arms plat op die vloer gaan lê.
Supt. Petrus Sihlangu het sy kleindogter Amogelang (2) geneem om ’n bankrekening vir haar te open toe die voorval omstreeks 14:30 plaasgevind het.
“Die volgende oomblik het mense begin skreeu en gehardloop vir cover. Ek het nie een van die verdagtes gesien nie, want hulle was baie vinnig in en uit die bank.
“Baie mense het daarin geslaag om die polisie te bel en hulle was vinnig op die toneel,” het Sihlangu gesê.
Sy kleindogter het deur die drama geslaap.
Terwyl die rowers glo nog in die bank was, het ’n broer en suster huilend uit die bank gevlug. Dié geskokte kinders is oomblikke ná die drama deur hul ma, ’n superintendent, buite die bank getroos.
“Hulle is oukei, hulle is oukei,” is al wat sy gesê het voordat sy en haar kinders weer in die bank in is.
Past. Abraham Magoane, ’n kliënt, het gesê hy het drie mans die bank sien binnekom. “Een het ’n groot hamer gehad, nog een het ’n vuurwapen gehad.
“Hulle het gesê ons moet plat lê. Die hele tyd het ek net gebid vir die Here om genadig te wees en ons te beskerm.
“Skielik het een van die rowers van buite geroep dat hulle moet vlug. Nog drie ander rowers wat tussen die bank se deure vasgekeer was, het die deur stukkend geskop om uit te kom en toe vlug hulle almal,” het Magoane gesê.
’n 62-jarige vrou wat anoniem wil bly, het gesê twee mense is binne die bank beroof. “Een man is van R920 beroof en ek weet nie hoeveel geld hulle by die ander man gevat het nie.”
Volgens haar het die rowers hul sakke en die hamer agtergelaat toe hulle gevlug het.
Veiligheidswagte van Hi-Risk- en Fidelity-veiligheidsdienste en die polisie was binne oomblikke op die toneel.
Insp. Paul Ramaloko, polisiewoordvoerder, het gesê die rowers het gevlug sonder om enige geld van die bank te steel. Hy het gesê die voorval word ondersoek.
’n Polisieman wat anoniem wil bly, het gesê die polisie het beslag gelê op ’n wit Kia-bakkie. Die rowers het in ander voertuie in verskillende rigtings gevlug.

Duisende ballonne vir vermoorde vyfjarige
Krugersdorp. – Die “Pienk ballonne vir ’n Engel”-dag gister het nie net belangstelling aan die Wes-Rand uitgelok nie, maar van oor die land heen en selfs oorsee.
Dié veldtog is van stapel gestuur deur die ouers van Daniellé Esterhuizen (5) van Randfontein, wat verlede jaar doodgeskiet is tydens ’n hengeluitstappie by die Riebeeckmeer-ontspanningsoord. Sy was saam met haar ma, Anel (30), pa, Diederick (36), en ’n familievriend.
Mnr. Jaco Matthee, familievriend en organiseerder van die dag, wat daarop gemik is om bewustheid oor kindersterftes weens misdaad te kweek, het gesê byna 5 000 pienk ballonne is by skole en sakeondernemings in Randfontein losgelaat. Meer as 12 000 ballonne is landwyd die lug ingestuur en selfs Suid-Afrikaners in Australië en Nieu-Seeland het 2 000 pienk ballonne losgelaat, het hy gesê.
“As julle dink ons het nie ’n impak gehad nie, dink weer. Dit gaan nie kinders wat moes boet met hul lewens weens misdaad terugbring nie, maar ons wys vir die land: Ons sal nie gaan lê nie!” het Matthee gesê.
Naaste familie, vriende en maatjies van Daniellé het by haar graf saamgetrek om haar sesde verjaarsdag te vier.
Die borgtogaansoek van drie van Daniellé se vermeende moordenaars sloer steeds in die Randfontein-streekhof. Die saak gaan op 28 Augustus voort.

Pyn ná ma se bylmoord
“Ek voel of ek beroof is en nou net tasse vol herinneringe oor het.”
Só sê ’n bedroefde Carla Broers, mediese student en dogter van Ilze Broers (52), wat verlede maand met ’n handbyl in haar minnaar se huis in Weltevredenpark, Roodepoort, doodgekap is.
Carla (24) het haar ma se verminkte lyk sowat 200 m van die moordhuis binne-in haar bakkie ontdek..
Dié grufonds is gemaak nadat sy en haar sussie Liesl (21) bekommerd geraak het toe hul ma nie vir Liesl se 21ste verjaarsdagpartytjie opgedaag het nie.
Kobus Janse van Rensburg (55), eienaar van die Proplist-eiendomsagentskap in Krugersdorp, is op 22 Julie in verband met die moord in hegtenis geneem kort nadat hy Broers by die Honeydew-polisiekantoor as vermis aangemeld het.
Carla het haar ma se lof besing in ’n roerende begrafnisbrief.
Haar ma was onder meer hoofmeisie van haar skool en het aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch akademies uitgeblink.
Vir die Broers-gesin lyk die toekoms duister ná die gesinstragedie.
“Die hartseerste is,” skryf Carla, “dat sy nie my drome om ’n dokter te word, sal sien waar word nie.”
Streeklanddros Delize Smit het vandeesweek in die Roodepoortse streekhof geweier om Janse van Rensburg op borgtog vry te laat.
Die hof het beslis die staat het ’n prima facie-saak.
Die saak is na die direkteur van openbare vervolging (DOV) verwys vir ’n beslissing of die saak na die hooggeregshof verwys moet word. Die saak is tot 28 September uitgestel.
Baasspeurder supt. Piet Byleveld het in die borgaansoek getuig dat die moord beplan was en dat die beskuldigde ’n “besitlike persoon” is.
“Hy het Broers nooit uit sy oog gelaat nie en het haar selfs na die hondesalon vergesel.”
Broers het kort voor haar dood die Posh Paws-hondesalon in Ridge Terrace-sentrum verkoop.
Sy sou ook geld belê in Janse van Rensburg se onderneming, wat glo “wankelrig” was.
Die polisie het beslag gelê op ’n groot hoeveelheid kontant wat in ’n kas in die sitkamer van die moordhuis gevind is.

Speurders ruik lont oor knipsel onder bed
Roodepoort. – Speurders het ’n koerantuitknipsel van ’n “soortgelyke moord” onder die bed van die vermoorde mev. Ilze Broers en haar minnaar gevind.
Só het Suid-Afrika se baasspeurder, supt. Piet Byleveld, getuig in die borgaansoek van Kobus Janse van Rensburg (55), Broers se minnaar.
Janse van Rensburg, die eienaar van Proplist-eiendomsagentskap in Krugersdorp, het vandeesweek weer in die Roodepoort-streekhof verskyn in verband met die bylmoord op dié hondesalon-eienares.
Byleveld het die hof gevra om Janse van Rensburg nie op borgtog vry te laat nie.
Hy het aan die hof gesê die polisie het besef die moord is moontlik beplan nadat hulle die koerantuitknipsel onder die bed ontdek het.
Hy het nie uitgebrei oor die moordberig nie. Die naam van die koerant is ook nie in die hof genoem nie.
Die polisie het ook lont geruik toe hulle gehoor het Janse van Rensburg het glo geweier om Broers se selfoon as vermis aan te meld.
“Hy het geweet dis hoe Leigh Matthews se moordenaar opgespoor is,” het Byleveld getuig. (Byleveld het dié Sandtonse student, wat in 2005 ontvoer en later vermoor in Walkerville gevind is, se moordenaar aangekeer.)
“Dié soort moorde word al hoe meer ’n tendens in ons land,” het hy aan die hof gesê.
Die polisie het ook Janse van Rensburg se gedrag “vreemd” gevind terwyl hy in die Brixton-polisiekantoor se aanhoudingselle was.
“Hy het nooit oor die oorledene gepraat nie. Hy het nooit oor haar dood gehuil nie. Hy was eerder bekommerd oor sy enigste seun vir wie hy baie lief is.”
Byleveld het gesê die polisie is bekommerd dat Janse van Rensburg sy eie lewe sal neem as hy op borgtog vrygelaat word.
Landdros Delize Smith het borgtog geweier.
Wat dryf mense tot moord?
Gierigheid en jaloesie speel deesdae dikwels ’n rol in moorde.
Só sê dr. Pixie du Toit, ’n forensiese kriminoloog, nadat Wes-Beeld haar uitgevra het oor wat presies moordenaars dryf om sulke grusame dade te pleeg.
“Wanneer dit by geld en jaloesie kom, beplan ’n moordenaar die daad lank voor die tyd,” sê sy. Dit word nie sommer op die ingewing van die oomblik gepleeg nie.
Sulke mense maak dikwels van huurmoordenaars gebruik.
“Dit is veral wanneer iemand se liggaamsbou en krag teen hom tel en as hy/sy nie die vaardighede het om self die moord te pleeg nie,” verduidelik sy.
Sulke moordenaars is nie psigopate nie en lei nie aan persoonlikheidsversteurings nie.
“Die jaloesie, woede en gierigheid wat hulle ervaar, oorweldig dikwels hul emosionele stabiliteit en gee dan aanleiding tot die moord.”
Du Toit meen egter “moordenaars moet hul idees van iewers af kry. Hulle moet beplan hoe hulle die moord(e) wil laat lyk”.
Soms kry sulke mense hul idees in koerante. Die media kan egter nie die blaam dra daarvoor nie.
“As ’n mens ’n moord wil pleeg, sal jy dit doen ongeag wat die koerante skryf.”

‘Sieklike’ balju verskyn al snikkend in hof
KAAPSTAD. – Die “chroniese siek” balju van Wellington wat sy vrou voor leerders en ouers van die Voorbereidingskool Durbanville doodgesteek het, is “ ’n gevaar vir homself” en bly in aanhouding tot sy borgtogaansoek op 27 Augustus.
Hy het gister sy eerste hofverskyning al huilend gemaak.
Mnr. Johan Strauss (49) het onverwags in die Bellville-landdroshof verskyn nadat hy Woensdag omstreeks middernag dringend vanuit die Durbanville-polisieselle na ’n private hospitaal gehaas moes word weens “sy mediese toestand” .
Strauss sou aanvanklik vandag weens die skokmoord op mev. Minnette Jordaan-Strauss (38) verskyn het. Sy is Dinsdagmiddag ses keer in die bors gesteek terwyl sy voor die skool vir haar seun (9) in haar motor gewag het.
Die egpaar was na verneem word besig om te skei “weens huweliksprobleme wat al ’n lang pad kom,” het ’n familielid gister gesê. “Sy het alles moontlik probeer om die huwelik te red, maar het drie weke gelede na Durbanville verhuis omdat sy dit nie meer kon verdra nie.”
Strauss het na bewering ’n private speurder gehuur om haar op te spoor.
Voor sy hofverskyning gister het Strauss huilend en snikkend van die hofselle na die beskuldigdebank gestap.
Mev. Michelle du Plessis, sy prokureur, moes telkens na hom draai ter ondersteuning en het ook ’n sneesdoekie vir hom gegee.
Strauss se broer, sowel as mnr. Pierre-Jeanne Gerber, ’n ANC-parlementslid van Wellington, het die hofsaak bygewoon.
Me. Shanaaz Christians, aanklaer, het aangedui dat die staat borgtog teenstaan.
Landdros David Tonisi het ’n versoek van Du Plessis dat Strauss voortaan in die hospitaaleenheid van die gevangenis aangehou word én mediese behandeling daar ontvang, toegestaan. Sy het gesê hy is ’n “gevaar vir homself” en moet 24 uur gemonitor word weens sy mediese toestand.
Strauss het kopbeserings opgedoen nadat hy Dinsdagmiddag probeer selfmoord pleeg het deur met sy luukse BMW van die Bainskloofpas af te jaag. Strauss is ’n diabeet en ly ook aan hoë bloeddruk.
Ná die hofverrigtinge het Strauss ’n hofganger, vermoedelik sy suster, se hand styf vasgehou voordat hy na die selle gelei is.
’n Formele borgtogaansoek sal op 27 Augustus gedoen word.
Kapt. Elliot Sinyangana, polisiewoordvoerder, het bevestig Strauss is Woensdagnag na ’n private hospitaal oorgeplaas. “Hy is vanoggend (gister) ontslaan en daar is besluit om hom vandag (gister) voor die hof te bring.”
’n Emosionele me. Adéle le Roux, suster van die oorledene, wou gister weet hoekom Strauss nie Dinsdagaand al gehospitaliseer is nie.

3 Mans en huishulp gearresteer oor moord op nutsman
Krugersdorp. – Drie mans en ’n vrou is eergister aangekeer weens die moord op ’n nutsman van Krugersdorp in Mei vanjaar.
Dié vier verskyn Maandag in die landdroshof hier.
Mnr. Phil Botha (61) is in Mei vanjaar in die kop geskiet toe hy saam met ’n tuinwerker en ’n huishulp in mev. Heather Kruger se huis in Cronjéstraat, Monument, aangeval is.
Botha, ’n huisvriend van mev. Kruger, was besig om herstelwerk aan haar badkamer te doen, toe drie rowers hom in die huis oorval het.
Hy is summier in die kop geskiet toe hy nie die plek waar die kluis geberg is, aan die rowers kon uitwys nie. Die rowers het die kluis in ’n kas opgespoor en losgeruk en ook met die tuinwerker se fiets op die vlug geslaan.
Supt. Lungelo Dlamini, provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder van Gauteng, sê vier verdagtes, almal tussen 30 en 33 jaar, is aangekeer nadat die polisie een verdagte deur middel van vingerafdrukke wat op dié moordtoneel gevind is, kon identifiseer.
Dié man is in die Tudor Shaft-plakkerskamp, naby Chamdor, Krugersdorp aangetref.
“Hy het nog twee verdagtes uitgewys en hulle het die huiswerker (van Mev. Kruger) ook geïmpliseer,” het supt. Dlamini gesê.
Die verdagtes is sedert gister by die Krugersdorp-speurtak ondervra en sal die naweek in polisie-aanhouding deurbring.
Die verdagtes word tans met vier ander sake verbind.
Hiervan was twee huisbrake en diefstal uit ’n motorvoertuig in Krugersdorp en ’n soortgelyke voorval in Muldersdrift.
Die polisie het op ’n 9 mm-pistool beslag gelê.

Call for sexual predators list
The brutal murder of six-year-old Steven Siebert at the hands of convicted paedophile and child-killer Theunis Christian Olivier has elicited an outcry for a national register of paedophiles - but not everyone agrees that a register would work in South Africa, where there is, at best, a seven percent conviction rate.
Joan van Niekerk, national co-ordinator of Childline, believes that "no register will protect children". It could, in fact, contribute to the problem of child protection.
However, Dr Thinus Coetzee, a counsellor and operation head for an anti-child crimes group called the Pink Ladies, argues that a national register for paedophiles would work.
'No register will protect children'
Referring to the Olivier case, he said: "If there was a register in place we might have known that the person was a potential predator. How many cases are still pending against this particular predator? Yet nobody paid attention and the ultimate result was the end of a beautiful little life."
Lillian Artz, director of the University of Cape Town's Gender, Health and Justice Unit, isn't convinced that establishing a national register is the way to go for South Africa. "It's a great way to identify and monitor paedophiles but I don't think the government has the capacity to pull it off," she said.
Apart from the reluctance of children and parents to report incidents, said Van Niekerk, another compelling reason why a register wouldn't work was the ease with which people were able to obtain new identities.
Olivier, who was found guilty of kidnapping, sexually assaulting and murdering Steven - who he had enticed away from his parents' holiday home in Plettenberg Bay in late December 2005 - told the police he had sexually molested more than 200 boys over a period 30 years.
Coetzee argues: "The expressed goal of having sex offender registers is to reduce recidivism and promote public safety. Such registers would increase community awareness, making sex offenders feel more susceptible to the risks associated with offending. 'It might give rise to vigilantism'
"For such a register to be effective it needs to be made public. In this way, a person with small children, in any given area, could be aware of a predator staying in the area.
Sure, it might give rise to vigilantism but we feel that this would never be the case if the predator didn't commit the crime in the first place.
"In our view, the memories of a jail sentence do not outweigh the lifelong scarred memories a victim has to suffer."
Van Niekerk stresses the importance and the role of the proposed Children's Act. This provides for "a list of persons unsuitable to work with children" under the national child protection register, but will not come into force until the Children's Amendment Bill is passed by parliament.
But more important than having this legislation, she said, was having an effective system of management. "We need the Child Protection Unit back, the police need to be properly trained, and people who work in these units need to have a passion for working with children."
The development of legislation for children, particularly in relation to justice issues, should be done in consultation with experts in the field of childcare. "The protection of children is different to that of adults," she noted.
Van Niekerk described the national child protection register as much better than the eagerly awaited Sexual Offences Bill, which provides for a national confidential register of known sexual offenders. The bill is currently before the National Council of Provinces.
"The Sexual Offences Bill refers only to sex offenders. The Children's Act will capture anybody who commits crimes against children and is far more comprehensive."
According to Lakela Kaunda, spokesperson for the department of social development, the Children's Act refers to all offences against children such as assault, molestation, indecent assault and any statutory sexual offence.
She highlights that part B of the Child Protection Register focuses on a list of persons unsuitable to work with children - defining these people as "persons that abuse a child, whether it is sexually, emotionally, physically or by deliberate neglect".
This register would be kept and managed by the same department, said Kaunda, adding: "The list is a general one, not focusing on paedophiles per se but on crimes against children in general."
And according to the act, "Any court and accredited forum can find that a person is unsuitable to work with children, and will forward that ruling to the national department of social development", said Kaunda.
Those who automatically qualify to be included on the list are "any persons convicted of murder, attempted murder, rape, indecent assault or assault with the intent to do grievous bodily harm".
However, said Kaunda, "The list will not be made available to the general public".
"The obligation lies with employers who work with children to screen employees against part B of the register."
A reliable source from the same department told the Saturday Star that those who will have access to this list will be all municipalities and health and education institutions.
"However, if you suspect that a paedophile is living next door to you, you will not be granted access to the list."
The source says there is now a sense of urgency in passing the bill, which would see the second section of the amended Children's Act approved.
"We are still waiting for the South African Police Service and the justice department to compile lists for us. All the provincial issues will be sorted out by the end of September. We are hoping to have a list by June next year."
One of the issues that had delayed the list's implementation was the constitutional question of whether offenders would have their rights violated.
But the source said: "We have consulted with many legal experts on this matter. If any of these people want to take us to court for violating their constitutional rights, they must just go ahead."
Justice and constitutional development ministry spokesperson Zolile Nqayi said the two registers (offender and protection) did not constitute a duplication as they were intended for different reasons.
"Yes, there are similarities, as both are intended to protect children and preclude a convicted person from working with children. However, there are major differences between the two registers.
"For example, the offender register provided for in the Sexual Offences Bill also protects mentally disabled people against sex offenders who have been convicted before or after the commencement of the act, while the information on the protection register is used to protect children in general against people convicted of abuse and neglect."
Van Niekerk believes that having two registers would take resources away from effective intervention such as providing for supervision and treatment of sexual offenders as well as providing treatment to the children.
"We are constantly told that we don't have the money. We need to look at what will work and can't work, and we must educate the public. Those people who work with children will have to be checked against two registers. In reality it will not help the children."
Last week it was reported that a lack of adequate government resources could result in a complete failure of the national sex offenders register despite the Sexual Offences Bill being close to promulgation.
Although the names of Olivier and a host of other paedophiles will appear on such a register once the bill is approved, experts warned that the state needed a "good circle of professionals" to monitor the list.
UCT's Artz added: "The child sex offenders' register can only be a value-adding mechanism if it is sustained and resourced correctly.
"It is a very complex matter and not just something you can start and add names to every time someone is convicted.
"If we look at the US, their paedophile register is working because they have a group of social workers, police, probation officers and law professionals employed to monitor it.
"I don't think it's going to be easy for our government to monitor all these things. It's not just about slapping a list together; it's about monitoring every individual person on that list."
Artz said the body commissioned to establish the register should also ensure that convicted paedophiles were kept away from children after serving jail sentences.
"Things often fall through the cracks," she noted.
Ten years ago the South African Law Commission initiated a project on sexual offences that would ultimately result in the Sexual Offences Bill.
In 2003 the bill went to parliament, where it sat for four years until finally being passed by the National Assembly this year.
It is currently before the National Council of Provinces, the final step before the bill becomes law.
