In line with government's mandate to make information accessible to all and bring government closer to the people, Government Communication and Information System has published the 2019/20 Official Guide to South Africa.
Content of the quick-fact, easy-to-read publication is largely based on information contained in the latest edition of the South Africa Yearbook, which is also published by the Government Communication and Information System.
Similar to the objectives of the SA Yearbook, the Official Guide is also aimed at providing a useful reference tool to inform South Africans and the world of efforts of government and the people of South Africa to create a better life for all.
