The South African government has recently introduced the Housing Consumer Protection Bill 2021 to provide better protection to housing consumers and address their grievances related to the home building and construction industry. This bill aims to safeguard the interests of housing consumers by proposing the continuation of the National Home Builders Registration Council as the National Home Building Regulatory Council and registering builders.
The advancement of digital technology has led to an increase in the reproduction and distribution of copyrighted works. In response, the South African government has proposed the Copyright Amendment Bill and Performers’ Protection Amendment Bill. These amendments aim to address the issues surrounding copyright works, particularly music and films, in the digital age. The proposed amendments aim to provide creators and performers with fair compensation for their work.
