Well I'll give you one good piece of advice before anything else. 
Please don't top post.  (i.e. post your reply at the top  of the thread) 
I personally don't care either way, but a lot of people in the community 
prefer posting replies at the bottom (and cutting out everything but the 
relevant portion of the text you need to keep the thread sane.)

Now, to the problem, the 'File not found' is pretty indicative that the 
zone file you are trying to load isn't where BIND (I assume it's BIND) 
is looking for it.

If you are using the FC5 BIND package and being a newbie, I'm going to 
assume all this is what came with FC5, the default location for the 
files should be /var/named/chroot/etc/bind/.  Is this where you placed 
the zone file?  The config file is looking in a directory called _zones_ 
for the zone file, so it looks like either the config files needs 
changing or the zone file needs moved to that directory.

Where exactly is this example.co.za file?
