The initial set of annotated laws was produced under the supervision of Dianne Hubbard and carried out primarily by Dianne Hubbard, Rachel Coomer, Romy Noeske and Perri Caplan. \u00a0The design of the annotated statutes was developed by Perri Caplan in conjunction with the Parliamentary Support Programme.<\/p>\n<p>The updates since then have been carried out by the Legal Assistance Centre, mostly without any external funding; two update periods were funded by the US Embassy and the British High Commission. The updates have been supervised by Dianne Hubbard and carried out primarily by Dianne Hubbard, An\u00e8l Stegmann, Romy Noeske and Perri Caplan.<\/p>\n<p>Our sincere gratitude to Sabinet Online Ltd of South Africa, which provided free access to their database of retrospective South African Government Gazettes for the purposes of this project.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks also to the Ministry of Justice and the National Archives for providing access to their libraries.<\/p>\n<p>The research which provided the basis for this project was Namlex: Index to the Laws of Namibia initiated by the NAMLAW Project in 1989 under the direction of the late <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anton_Lubowski\">Advocate Anton Lubowski<\/a>\u00a0and updated by the Legal Assistance Centre in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2010, 2013, 2015 and 2017 and now regularly.<\/p>\n<p>For optimal viewing of the database on a cell phone or tablet, you may download the Namlex Pocket Law app, which was developed by An\u00e8l Stegmann and is available for free on<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.appsheet.whitelabel.guid_71772e2b_a81d_48e5_ab18_ec1f0a423d99&amp;hl=en&amp;gl=US\"> Google Play<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/de\/app\/namlex-pocket-law\/id1641870155?l=en\">Apple.<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_images_carousel images=&#8221;4284,4285,4237,4238,4239,4240,4241,4242,4243,4244,4245,4246,4247,4248,4249,4250&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; speed=&#8221;2100&#8243; autoplay=&#8221;yes&#8221; title=&#8221;Legal Information Online&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Notes on the Annotated Statutes The annotated statutes have been prepared from the text in the Government Gazettes, Official Gazettes and South African Government Gazettes.
