ECSA Registration:

The old Act has now been superseded by the Engineering Profession Act, 2000 (Act No. 46 of 2000) which not only emphasises compulsory registration but is fully supported by a Government that insists on public protection from unprofessional practices by individuals who are not accountable for their actions. The Built Environment Councils have been given two years in which to implement compulsory registration of all persons practising their profession.
