Hello Mark,
Thanks for the response.
You could refer to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/faq/default.asp.
There is a question on "how to report a bug".
My suggestion here is to hard code the format as the workaround for the
program. Please let post here if you have any more concerns.
Best regards,

!Yanhong,
!
!Thank you for your response. Unfortunately I do not
!understand how your suggestion helps.
!
!Does anyone know how to get the correct date format for
!South Africa without specifically hard coding the format?
!Using CultureInfo seems to work everywhere else.
!
!Or does anyone know where to report this apparent bug?
!
!Regards,
!Mark
