Latest on S.A. "Mercenary Act"

I was wondering if anybody has any more information on the South African government's recently passed "Mercenary law". As I understand it, it would have a very detrimental affect on all the South african companies doing such good work in "war zones".

I have heard that the law was passed, and then all seemed quiet, so I assumed that the S.A. Govt had realised how much foreign currency they would lose if they banned all the various companies from working in areas deemed "areas of conflict".

The latest I have heard is that the law has yet to be implemented, but that it will be within the course of this year....and when that happens, I wonder what the effects will be.

I know that this was a hot topic a year or so ago, but haven't heard much since...but isn't it time we all found out how this will affect us ? Any info would be much appreciated.
