The Information Regulator, as of 30 June 2021, took over the function of the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) from the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC). The objectives of PAIA are to promote transparency, accountability, and effective governance on all public and private bodies.
An Information Officer of a private body must compile a PAIA manual. This manual aims to facilitate requests for information from private bodies. This manual is to be made available at the place of business or may be accessed via the private bodies website.
Should you require assistance compiling a PAIA manual, kindly contact your nearest SEESA office.
