Introduction: Mission, Vision and Purpose:

UniForum SA is a non-profit company incorporated in South Africa and trading as the .ZA Central Registry ("ZACR"), see http://registry.net.za. The ZA Domain Name Authority (ZADNA) is the South African ccTLD Manager established in terms of Chapter X of the Electronic Communications and Transactions (ECT) Act of South Africa to manage and regulate the ZA ccTLD, and to develop the domain name industry in South Africa.

As the exclusive domain name authority of South Africa, ZADNA appointed UniForum SA to serve as the ZA Central Registry and provide a centralised platform for the operation of ZA second level domains such as co.za, net.za, org.za and web.za. ZADNA has, with the support of the Department of Communications, officially appointed UniForum SA to apply for, manage and administer the dotCapeTown gTLD.

This forms part of the national domain name strategy aimed at ensuring that South Africa’s three major cities - Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg (aka Joburg).

The ZACR, ZADNA and the Department of Communications, share a collective vision of establishing and running a successful dotCapeTown registry operation for the benefit and pride of those who identify themselves with the City of Cape Town.

Our primary objective and mission can, therefore, be summarised as follows: "To establish a world class, best-practice dotCapeTown gTLD registry that complies with internationally recognised domain name registry standards and technology, utilising national know-how and funding, for the benefit and pride of all persons and entities identifying with and supporting Cape Town".

Our mission is to establish the dotCapeTown gTLD as a proud identifier of it's online identity, fairly reflecting the city's rich cultural, social and economic diversity and potential. In essence we will strive to develop and position dotCapeTown as the preferred option for individuals and businesses either based in, or with strong associations with the City of Cape Town and its people. More especially, the dotCapeTown gTLD will help boost South Africa’s tourism development strategy concerning the city of Cape Town, promoting talent and creating new revenue streams.


Look forward to seeing your designs and wishing you best of luck!
