SA info regulator wants PoPIA provisions to start in April 2020
BusinessTech reports that the Information Regulator of South Africa has requested that President Cyril Ramaphosa announce that the provisions of the Protection of Personal Information Act (PoPIA) start on 1 April 2020.
While being interviewed on eNCA, regulator chairperson Pansy Tlakula said that the act gives serious enforcement powers to the regulator including the ability to levy fines of over R10m and the ability to pursue criminal prosecution.
According to law firm Webber Wentzel, the remaining provisions in PoPIA regulating the processing of personal information will become effective on 31 March 2021 if the president acts on the regulator's request.
