Weird, but it works fine by me:

cow:/ $ whois trustfabric.co.za
Registered
%referral url:http://www.coza.net.za/cgi-bin/whois.sh?Domain=trustfabric

cow:/ $ whois trustfabric.co.uk

    Domain name:
        trustfabric.co.uk

You probably mean why the results are so different?

In co.za anyone can register a domain and it is not limited to 
just registrars, so it is also open to much more abuse than
others, I guess there are many many more reasons as well,
have a look at the archives to see how far this discussion 
have come
