===South Africa=== In South Africa the [[Legal Deposit Act, 1997]] requires publishers to provide five copies of every book published, if the [[print run]] consists of 100 or more copies. These copies must be deposited in the [[National Library of South Africa]] (NLSA) in [[Cape Town]], the NLSA in [[Pretoria]], the [[Mangaung Local Municipality|Mangaung]] Library Services in [[Bloemfontein]], the [[Msunduzi Local Municipality|Msunduzi]] Municipal Library in [[Pietermaritzburg]], and the Library of [[Parliament of South Africa|Parliament]] in Cape Town. If the print run is less than 100 copies, then only one copy is required, to be deposited in the NLSA in Cape Town. If it is less than 20 copies, then no deposit is required. For films, videos and [[sound recording]]s, the requirements are the same, except that the [[National Archives of South Africa|National Film, Video and Sound Archives]] (NFVSA) receives a deposit copy instead of the Library of Parliament, and if only one copy is required it is deposited in the NFVSA rather than the NLSA.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nlsa.ac.za/NLSA/services/for%20publishers%20and%20authors/legal-deposit-information/legaldep.pdf |title=Legal Deposit Information |publisher=National Library of South Africa |access-date=21 July 2010}}</ref>
