Ancestry24 (South Africa)

[Uncle John]

Poking around my SA rellies today, I noticed that Ancestry24 is closing down at the end of February.

Yes, it's sad. Wish I knew if there will be an alternative place to research.

They are supposed to be refunding sub costs as well but I haven't got mine.

There are some new South African records on ancestry today, perhaps taken from the ancestry24 site?

South Africa Births and Baptisms (http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=60659)
South Africa Voter Indexes (http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=60671)

Here is the Voter Index entry for Nelson Mandela, but the date given is when he was still in prison:

I believe ancestry did obtain somehow the ancestry24 records so you could be right Kate.
