When writing a date on any document in 2020, write it in its full format ie. 31/01/2020 and not 31/01/20. Anyone can change it to any date from 31/01/2000 to 31/01/2099. This can render the document invalid.

Awesome advise, I didn't think of that. Although I've written 19 already

First SA date format is Year/Month/Day .

This works best with files as they will now order correctly.

Though ,for legal documents! even better is to actually write the month name, as it removes all ambiguity.

I.e. 01 Jan 2020 or 2020 Jan 01

Some good advice gents. Thank you for that tip.

It's never too late to learn.

surely the same issue applied in 2019?

31/01/19

anyone could have changed the date to 31/01/1900 or 31/01/1999

Another tip of the iceberg perhaps? Am not very good with numbers but all makes sense in this case. I should be careful when putting a signature on legal documents.

Why am I even so into this thread? As serious as it is, I'm now thinking of other tips with all the horniness.

Time does fly and all a girl is thinking about is a tip of the old iceberg...eish
