Apple is rolling out games for the South African iTunes App Store, a spokesperson for the company has told MyBroadband.<\/p>\n
At the time of writing it appeared as though the roll-out was still underway, with the iTunes desktop app displaying the following error when attempting to access the App Store: \u201cThe item you\u2019ve requested is not currently available in the South African Store.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, a tweet from a local game developer <\/a> pointed to a listing for Angry Birds on the iTunes App Store for South Africa website.<\/p>\n Using the website to find the listing of a game and then clicking \u201cView in iTunes\u201d opens the application\u2019s page in the iTunes desktop application.<\/p>\n This latest news on iOS games for South Africa emerges some months after<\/a> the Film and Publications Board (FPB) said that it had proposed new regulations for online content distribution to the Department of Home Affairs.<\/p>\n The FPB indicated in May 2013 that these new regulations would have paved the way for Apple to launch the \u201cgames\u201d category for the iTunes App Store in South Africa.<\/p>\n Requests for comment to the Film and Publications board earlier in October 2013 on the status of iOS games in South Africa were unanswered.<\/p>\n Apple declined to comment on what enabled them to finally roll out games to the South African App Store.<\/p>\n Rand exchange leap and its SA retail effects<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n SA to get Alienware trade-in service?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Nintendo 2DS: SA pricing and availability announced<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nAge classification of games in SA<\/h3>\n
