Sabinet Online's SA Gazettes product came into existence in November 10 years ago and was known as the electronic Government Gazette.
A small start-up company, Gentel, launched the electronic Government Gazette in 1994. Gentel approached Sabinet to become a partner, and in March 1996, Sabinet acquired full shareholding in Gentel. Today, the SA Gazettes product consists of the electronic Government Gazette and all nine Provincial Gazettes, accessible via the Internet.
Sabinet Online would like to thank all its loyal subscribers for their support, and for putting their trust in the SA Gazettes. The clients' continuous feedback assisted Sabinet to develop and add value to the product on an ongoing basis:
