  • Safmarine Customer Advisory
    April 27, 2018 Advance Containerized Cargo Loading Notices (Pre-Arrival Manifest) – South Africa Dear Valued Customers, The Customs Authority in South Africa has recently announced the full implementation of the Customs Control Act, 2014. The first phase of the Reporting of Conveyances and Goods (“RCG”) under the current Customs and Excise Act, 1964 has been implemented 20th April 2018. The RCG project is intended to provide customs control of all vessels, trains, vehicles, goods and persons entering or leaving South Africa. In order to comply with all customs obligations, advanced containerized cargo loading notices must be transmitted to customs at least 24 hours before the first container is loaded on board the vessel that will transport the cargo to South Africa. This applies to both cargo destined for and to be transshipped via South African ports. At this time, we would like to advise that customers shipping cargo to South Africa should make arrangements to be in compliance with this regulation. We will update you further as information becomes available on mandatory enforcement. Frequently asked questions as per the SARS website: What does RCG stand for and where does it fit in? RCG is an acronym for Reporting of Conveyances and Goods and it is one of the three major projects (the other two being Registration, Licensing and Accreditation (RLA) and Declaration Processing (DPS)) being undertaken under the New Customs Act Programme (NCAP) which is charged with operationalizing the Customs Control Act, 2014 and the Customs Duty Act, 2014. Under what legislation will the first phase of the RCG implementation take place? The rules to section 8 of the Customs and Excise Act No.91 of 1964 will be amended to form the legislative basis for the implementation of RCG.

One of the foundational papers in extratropical cyclone structure by Jakob Bjerknes was published in 1919, leading to what is now known as the Norwegian cyclone model. Also that year, a series of meetings was held that led to the formation of organizations that promoted the in- ternational collaboration and scientific exchange required for extratropical cyclone research, which by necessity involves spatial scales spanning national borders.

This study investigates the importance of the numerous mediums in the development of a Hip Hop culture at the Cape from 1983 to 2015. Particular attention is given to audio-visual content such as film, music and music videos within the early formations of Hip Hop in the Cape. The audiences and performers who engaged with Hip Hop culture will be investigated. Furthermore, this study will follow the shift in the various forms of dissemination - from radio, television, to self-produced videos uploaded on digital media platforms on the internet.
