Because of the extent (Afrikaans: &#8220;omvang&#8221;) of the amendments brought about by this Amendment Act, it is impractical to publish it all in Servamus as a whole. Pollex has, however, put together, assembled and\/or constructed for his own use the previous Act 116 of 1998 (or what is left of it), into this Amendment Act so that it ends up in a chronological, complete and understandable Act 116 of 1998. It is suggested that SAPS police stations and\/or courts of law and\/or relevant Government Departments, do the same.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">****************************<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[<span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; color: var(--ast-global-color-3);\">This is only an extract of an article that is published in Servamus: June 2023.
