[edit] False information

The passage on the Legislature contains false information. South Africa's parliament is NOT elected in single member constituencies at all. The country uses a PR system with regional multi member constituencies (MMCs) and one national MMC. Parties put up closed lists for either both parts of the system or for the regional MMCs only. The voter has one vote only for the National Assembly. Elections take place every five years.

I changed it correspondingly.

[edit] Provincial Legislatures

Does anyone have any information on the powers of the provincial legislatures? What are their areas of competence? Do they have a right to make legislation that the central government cannot override? Joziboy 19 May 2006, 19:25 (UTC)

[edit] Rephrase Recruitment Policy

South African Correctional Services need to rephrase their recruitment policy, by so doing; the department will gain more qualified staff. Their requirements should at least say “grade 12 but Correctional Services degree will be an advantage, because they are people who have specialised in this field rather than grade 12.
