The Government Printing Works (GPW) can now print all three legal gazettes as it has been mandated, and ordered by the courts, to do.

A day before being dragged back into the dock for contempt of a 2021 court order, the government printers sent a notice to stakeholders (on 19 November) saying the "e-Gazette re-automation project has completed the automation of all legal gazettes". This means the gazettes should now be available and accessible to all stakeholders.

The South African Restructuring and Insolvency Practitioners Association (Saripa) sought an urgent interdict to hold the GPW CEO, the minister and the director-general of home affairs in contempt of court and get them sentenced to prison.

In 2021, the court ordered the GPW to fulfil its mandate, which is to ensure that its three legal gazettes (A, B and C) are published every Friday without interruption or delay.
