South Africa's new cannabis laws have legalized medical and recreational cannabis use in "private spaces," but still bans recreational sales.

On May 28, 2024 South Africa made history by becoming the first African nation to formally legalize recreational cannabis drug use. The Cannabis for Private Purposes Bill — otherwise abbreviated as “CfPPA” — was signed into law by President Cyril Ramaphosa less than a day before the historic 2024 South African General Elections which saw his party lose its 30 year control over Parliament.
