I published an article in our Attorneys Magazine DE REBUS during October 2013 with the Title: PUZZLING LEGISLATION SCRAP OR RE-WRITE THE OLDER PERSONS ACT. This relates to the abortion of a statute OLDER PERSONS ACT 13 OF 2006 [“the Act”], Regulations [“Regulations”], Forms [“Forms”] and National Norms & Standards [“NN&S”] commenced on 1 April 2010 replacing the Aged Persons Act 81 of 1967 as amended.
It is not a joke that the Act commenced on 1 April 2010 - the entire statute is a joke! It is the worst piece of legislation that I have ever seen in my entire career. When I first wrote the article I stated that it is an abortion - to my shame I toned it down considerably. The Department is still struggling to get this statute working - they should listen to me and scrap the entire statute and re-write from scratch! There is no other way. I ask you to use the link below and read my article in our official magazine.
