All scheme executives, in this case, trustees, have a statutory and common law fiduciary obligation to act in good faith, and with due diligence and care in the interests of their community scheme at all times. It is their duty to ensure that the information obtained from members is only used for the purpose for which it was given.

In this episode of Fitzanne's Property Exchange, Pearl Scheltema interviews Dilen Heerschop, a lawyer at Schuler Heerschop Pienaar Inc Attorneys, to find out everything scheme executives need to know about PoPIA.
