Some or all works by this author were created and first published before January 1, 1989 in South Africa and are in the public domain there because they are speeches of a political nature or speeches delivered in the course of legal proceedings.
According to the Copyright Act, 1978, § 12 (8) (a), "No copyright shall subsist [...] in speeches of a political nature or in speeches delivered in the course of legal proceedings."
Some or all works by this author are also in the public domain in the United States because they were first published outside the United States (and not published in the U.S. within 30 days), and they were first published before 1989 without complying with U.S. copyright formalities (renewal and/or copyright notice) and they were in the public domain in South Africa speech on the URAA date (January 1, 1996). This is the combined effect of South Africa speech having joined the Berne Convention in 1928, and of 17 USC 104A with its critical date of January 1, 1996.
The critical date for copyright in the United States is January 1, 1989.

South African speeches published since 1989 are not necessarily in the public domain in the United States; further information is required to determine their status in US copyright law.
