JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on Tuesday urged wealthy countries to stop hoarding excess COVID-19 vaccines that they had ordered but did not immediately need, saying the world needed to act together to fight the pandemic. “We need those who have hoarded the vaccines to release the vaccines so that other countries can have them,” Ramaphosa told a virtual meeting of the World Economic Forum. “The rich countries of the world went out and acquired large doses of vaccines. … Some countries even acquired up to four times what their population needs … to the exclusion of other countries”. Ramaphosa, who currently chairs the African Union, said African countries wanted access to vaccines as quickly as other nations. South Africa’s COVID outbreak is the worst in Africa, and the continent as a whole is struggling to secure sufficient vaccines to start countrywide inoculation programmes for its 1.3 billion people. “We are all not safe if some countries are vaccinating their people and other countries are not vaccinating,” Ramaphosa said. “We all must act together in combating the coronavirus.” - Reuters

The National Council of Provinces (NCOP) passed the Cybercrimes Bill and the Science and Technology Laws Amendment Bill during its sitting on Wednesday.
The Cybercrimes Bill was initially introduced as the Cybercrimes and Cybersecurity Bill in 2017, and was referred to the fifth democratic parliament’s select committee on security justice from the national assembly on 27 November 2018.
However, it lapsed at the end of the fifth parliament and it is among the bills that were revived by the NCOP through a resolution on 17 October 2019.
The bill also aims to regulate the powers to investigate cybercrimes, to further regulate aspects relating to mutual assistance in respect of the investigation of cybercrimes and to provide for the establishment of a 24/7 point of contact.
The bill further imposes obligations on electronic communications service providers and financial institutions to assist in the investigation of cybercrimes.
