South Africa’s National Assembly seems poised to pass National Gambling Amendment Bill, which will make online gambling legal in the country.
According to a story at ITWeb:
The Bill has had a tortuous time since being introduced into Parliament last year. Many members of both the National Assembly and the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) had moral, religious or ideological problems with gambling, and sought to restrict the pass-time and ban outright the advertising thereof.
But the Trade and Industry Portfolio Committee on 9 May approved the Bill for a second time after endorsing some of the changes the NCOP made to it, after it had okayed the draft law the first time. The Bill may now go before the full National Assembly to be enacted again and then go to the president for his assent and promulgation.
