Electronic government and e-services development in South Africa is moving at a snail-pace but has potential to improve. Nothing much has been done regarding the implementation of e-government applications. There are bits and pieces for different unrelated services, as different departments are yet to be integrated. There is still a lot of work to be done, especially on the security issues of the current used e-government architecture. This paper reviews the current state of SA e-government architecture and then suggests improvements. The authors also make some recommendations to the security mechanisms of the existing egov architecture. They believe that their contribution will stimulate further research in this area and also increase user confidence.
