What this means

This is a webpage/document section from the South African Council for the Landscape Architectural Profession (SACLAP) titled “Registered Persons”. It explains that, under the Landscape Architectural Profession Act (Act 45 of 2000), people may not practise in specific landscape architecture categories unless registered, and it sets out offences and possible fines for contraventions. It also provides a “Find Registered Person by Surname” list showing registered (and some non-active) individuals with their registration numbers and statuses, and instructs members of the public to contact the Registrar (Mrs Cecilia Chinga) if someone uses authorised professional titles without appearing on the register.
