Daily and weekly readings
Some figures are readings, not changes in law. The rand has a page for every business day from 4 January 1999 to 12 November 2026: use “Go to a date”. Dam levels are read every Monday. Water reports cover a year at a time.

How to read this page
- Every figure is as the document prints it, with the page it is on where the document has pages.
- A date links to its own page, with everything else that changed that day.
- Old figures are kept, never overwritten. A notice page lists what the notice set, even after a later one replaced it.
- Hatching means we hold no copy. Such a source is cited only, and its page says so.
