Just finished filling this in. I strongly suggest everyone else that's running a game company in the Western Cape does so too, if only to make our voices and concerns part of the next round of information gathering :)
There's quite a lot of support reading, so be prepared to do that, and some of the answers got a bit long when I was filling them out... But I guess that's more my fault than anyone else's.
