I have a .co.za domain name through a local registrar and I have been trying to set it up to point to my squarespace account.

Squarespace has said that the settings I have done are correct, but it is not working.

Any ideas?
 
Alright now we got something to work with

Did you use a domain forward or an A-record?
Did you delete and replace the WWW cname record?

Domain forward using the redirect thing in CPANEL. (301 redirect)
www cname record is pointing to ext.squarespace.com
They also had me change an IP address of an A record.

I get Error code: ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED in Chrome
 
And how long since you did the changes did you wait to test? Can take upto 24 hours for DNS changes to propagate
 
I question if the DNS you are configuring is the authoritative DNS for the domain then,check the whois registration

That's only if you change the DNS servers, he is only editing DNS records, the change is usually within 24 hours to instant
