Rules and programmes

Rules and programmes
Instrument	Kind	Status	What it does
Computer Crime and Cybercrime Act, 2022 (Act No. 6 of 2022) Read the cited source	Law	In force from 4 March 2022	Primary. Act text on the Eswatini Communications Commission site, in a Gazette dated 4 March 2022; the assent date is left blank in the copy read. The Act says it comes into operation on publication in the Gazette, so the date shown is the Gazette date. Offence sections run from section 3 to section 30, and the Act covers extra-territorial jurisdiction, investigation powers, service provider liability including hosting, and a National Cybersecurity Advisory Council the Prime Minister may establish.
Data Protection Act, 2022 Read the cited source	Law	In force	Reported. dataprotection.africa. It says the Act establishes a Commission to administer it with power to impose administrative fines. The page cites the Act as number 41 of 2022 and gives a commencement date we could not confirm from a primary text, so we leave the date null. The regulator's own copy of the Act returned a 404 and was not read.

Checked on 3 October 2026 and due for review by 1 January 2027. Many sources are trade press or law-firm summaries rather than official texts, and statuses such as reported or unconfirmed are shown as the source gives them. This is a summary, not legal advice. If something is wrong or out of date, tell us.
