Link for Reserve Bank permission[edit]
There does not appear to be a direct link to the Reserve Bank policy regarding reproduction of images of SA currency. However the SILO site (whatever that might be) does have a copy of the Reserve Bank document (surrounded by adverts). I have retained the old link as a comment should anybody want to check it.

Overzealous people pre-emptively deleting photographs of South African buildings[edit]
Hello, there seems to be overzealous people pre-emptively deleting photographs of South African buildings. South African law doesn't explicitly forbid photographs of buildings, and doesn't pursue any person that has taken such photographs. These people are going beyond what the is necessary and are interpreting the law how they see fit.
To me, Wikimedia has crippled itself when deleting wholesale photographs in countries that doesn't explicitly have freedom of panorama laws; especially when anyone on any other site can attribute to even an "All rights reserved" and use that image.
