QUESTION 1 (2 ANSWERS PROVIDED)
In terms of section 13(1) of the Interpretation Act1, the expression "commencement",
when used in any law and with reference thereto, means the day on which that law comes
or came into operation, and that day shall, subject to the provisions of subsection (2) and
unless some other day is fixed by or under the law for the coming into operation thereof,
be the day when the law was first published in the Gazette as a law. In terms of section
13(2), "day" begins immediately at the end of the previous day (i.e. immediately after
midnight at 00:00). This effectively means retrospective commencement, because by the
time the Gazette is published, the legislation would have been in force for a few hours.
