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.
