Can I initial every page?

Yes. Add a signature box on each page with + Signature box and reuse the same initials.

Which contracts cannot be signed electronically in South Africa?

Schedule 2 of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act excludes agreements for the sale of immovable property, leases of land for more than 20 years, wills and bills of exchange. Everything else may be signed electronically unless a law or the agreement itself requires a particular kind of signature.

How do both parties sign the same contract?

Send the other party's signature fields as a signing round, at once or in turn. Each person signs through a link on their phone and sees the document as it stands.
