GAZETTE DEFINITIONS

Government Gazette National Government publishes the Government Gazette as a tool to communicate messages of national importance to the general public. It contains information of a legal, administrative and general nature. Extraordinary Gazette As part of daily administration of the country, speci ½ c matters of an urgent or emergency nature may arise, which must be communicated to the public. Due to urgency, such matters may not be suitable to stand over until a Friday and subsequently are published as Extraordinary Gazettes.These gazettes are thus supplementary editions of the Government Gazette and are published any day of the week as and when required. Legal Gazette Members of public must communicate speci ½ c actions to the general public, such as sales in execution, personal name changes and so on, to comply with various stipulations of law.The Legal Gazette contains information in these categories. Liquor Licence Gazette This is a special edition of the Government Gazette, which contains applications for liquor licences only. It is published in addition to the weekly Government Gazette. Should there be parties wishing to oppose the granting of liquor licences, it is much easier if such notices are contained in a single edition of the gazette only. Monthly Gazette index Since there are many gazette editions additional to the weekly gazette, the GPW compiles an index of all gazettes published during a month. This is a service to the public, to assist interested parties in keeping track of all editions. Provincial Gazette The Provincial Gazette serves the same purpose as the Government Gazette, however, on the level of the provincial government. It is a tool to communicate messages of provincial importance to the general public and contains information of a legal, administrative and general nature. Tender Bulletin The Tender Bulletin is printed on behalf of the Department of Finance. It provides a summary of all procurement that national government wishes to do, which is of assistance to prospective vendors/ suppliers. Regulation Gazette This gazette contains information that government wishes to communicate speci ½ cally pertaining to regulations only.
