The regulations regarding drones, ( and the flying thereof) that have been recently drafted have caused much confusion over the last couple of months.

At htxt.africa we have written extensively about the proposed legislation, what has been drafted into law and what kind of regulations drone fliers want to see.

But to put things in simpler terms, DStv’s Edge: Science and Tech (on which htxt.africa are content consultants) took to the skies to try and explain what can and can’t be done in terms of drone flying.

In the clip from the episode below, Edge talks to Ian Melamed, the CEO of ProWings about the rules and regulations of drone flying in South Africa.
