The hike significantly exceeds current South African inflation, which stood at 4.5% in May. Despite being framed under a CPI-linked pricing methodology adopted after a 2024 public consultation, the increase outpaces recent inflation prints that ranged between 2.8% and 4%. The registry fee is a wholesale charge paid by accredited registrars, and whether end users and businesses see the full increase depends on how registrars choose to pass it on. .Zadna, a not-for-profit statutory regulator, says the funds will support DNS infrastructure, cybersecurity, and long-term development of the .za namespace. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
