SOUTH AFRICA Y2K ROLL OVER STATUS REPORT - 00:30
Grinning officials manning South Africa's National Y2K Disaster Management Centre gave the first hint as to the degree of success their planning for the Y2K Millennium Bug had been - just great!
"At this time, we have had no reports of any glitches or failures of any critical systems, and while we are very encouraged, we still have some way to go before we can signal the all clear," said Zam Titus, Director General of the Department of Provincial and Local Government.
(Note: The Department of Provincial and Local Government has overall responsibility for co-ordinating South Africa's Y2K programme for government).
