How can the government’s attitude and approach to internet issues best be described?
During both the pre and post-apartheid periods, the South African government embarked on a mission to formulate information and communications technology policies. There have been multiple ICT related policies and legislation since the 1994 democratic elections. The end of the last century saw the emergence of a myriad of policies in telecommunications, postal, broadcasting, science and technology as well as ICT and trade policies. The new century dawned with important infrastructure policies under the auspices of the Department of Communications (DOC), manifesting themselves in, inter alia, the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act of 2002 (ECT Act) and relevant acts on postal and broadcasting matters and more recently the Electronic Communications Act of 2005 (EC Act). The passing of the ECT Act marked the end of a process initiated by the South African Government in 1999 to establish a formal structure to define, develop, regulate and govern e-commerce in South Africa.
