Four portfolios. Eight indabas. One signed envelope.

Every official body that touches a South African consumer — the Treasury through SARB and SARS, Home Affairs through gov.za, transport through Gautrain and SANRAL, higher education through NBT and NSFAS — keeps its own delivery rhythm. 4notify is the only press that gazettes eight standing indabas into one signed envelope.
