, Question 1
(a)
The date of assent refers to the date when the President formally signs and stamps a
bill into law, rendering it a reliable Act of Parliament. In this case, the President gave his
assent to the Act on 10 April 1996. However, the date of commencement is the date
when the Act actually comes into effect and will be applicable. In this case, the Act came
into operation on 19 June 1996.
Section thirteen of the Interpretation Act 33 of 1957 makes provision for the coming into
operation of rules. It states that subject to a contrary provision in the Act, the law will
come into operation on the date of guide in the Government Gazette or on a date fixed
by the Act itself. Here, the Act came into force on five April 1996, was assented to on 10
April 1996, but commenced only on 19 June 1996. This is normal delay after assent and
is provided for in order to make administrative arrangements, to create public
awareness, or to complete conditions prior to the law coming into effect.
(b) The intent of an Act may be inferred through analysing its internal aids, which are
possibly items in the textual content of the Act itself. These aids provide meaning and
context to roughly the intent of the legislature. Three internal aids are:
Long Title: The long title offers a concise explanation of the impetus driving the Act. For
instance, if the Act is "An Act to change environmental safety," the long title would most
likely tough on its commitment to conserve natural resources.
Preamble: The preamble usually declares the reason for enacting the law and its aim.
For instance, a preamble would say, "Noting the wish to sell sustainable development
and ensure biodiversity, this Act is enacted."
Definitions Section: This section clarifies key terms used in the Act to describe its
meaning. An example is a definition stating, "For the purposes of this Act, 'pollutants'
mean the introduction of harmful materials into the environment."
