NATIONAL ENERGY REGULATOR OF SOUTH AFRICA
INVITATION TO COMMENT ON THE DRAFT LANGUAGE POLICY OF THE NATIONAL ENERGY REGULATOR OF SOUTH AFRICA The National Energy Regulator is a regulatory authority established as a juristic person in terms of Section 3 of the National Energy Regulator Act, 2004 (Act No. 40 of 2004). The Energy Regulator’s mandate is to regulate the electricity, piped-gas and petroleum pipelines industries in terms of the Electricity Regulation Act, 2006 (Act No. 4 of 2006), Gas Act, 2001 (Act No. 48 of 2001) and Petroleum Pipelines Act, 2003 (Act No. 60 of 2003). The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, provides for the equitable use of all the official languages of the country, as well as for the promotion and development of the historically marginalised indigenous languages. Apart from the 11 official languages, the Constitution also recognises other languages such as Nama, Khoi, San and Sign Languages, which must also be promoted and developed. The draft Language Policy of the National Energy Regulator (the Regulator), which seeks to provide broad guidelines for the implementation of a system of functional multilingualism, was developed as a direct result of the imperatives of the Constitution and the Use of Official Languages Act, 2012 (Act no 12 of 2012), which gives effect to the constitutional rights regarding language usage and development. The draft Language Policy is available on the Energy Regulator website at http://www.nersa.org.za/notices/invitation to comment Stakeholders and members of the public are invited to comment on this draft Language Policy in writing. The deadline for comments is 07 March 2017. Written comments and enquires must be sent to: Post: Attention: Head of Department: Legal Advisory Services The National Energy Regulator PO Box 40343 Arcadia Pretoria, 0007 Email :

Warning!!! To all suppliers and potential suppliers of goods to the Government Printing Works The Government Printing Works would like to warn members of the public against an organised syndicate(s) scamming unsuspecting members of the public and claiming to act on behalf of the Government Printing Works. One of the ways in which the syndicate operates is by requesting quotations for various goods and services on a quotation form with the logo of the Government Printing Works. Once the official order is placed the syndicate requesting upfront payment before delivery will take place. Once the upfront payment is done the syndicate do not deliver the goods and service provider then expect payment from Government Printing Works. Government Printing Works condemns such illegal activities and encourages service providers to confirm the legitimacy of purchase orders with GPW SCM, prior to processing and delivery of goods. To confirm the legitimacy of purchase orders, please contact:
Renny Chetty (012) 748-6375 (

Anna-Marie du Toit (012) 748-6292 (
