1. Foreword

The Promotion of Access to Information Act, No. 2 of 2000 (PAIA) was enacted to give effect to the constitutional right of access to information and actively promotes a society in which any person has effective access to information. The aim of PAIA is to foster a culture of transparency and accountability by public and private bodies and assist in realising South Africa’s goals of an open and participatory democracy. PAIA came into operation on 9 March 2001.

In terms of the PAIA, every business owner must produce and file a manual to comply with the provisions of Section 51 of the Act. Section 51 compliance requires the business to file the manual and have it available for inspection. Kulondeke (Pty) Limited (Company), in compliance with the Promotion of Access to Information Act 2 of 2000 (the Act), has prepared this PAIA Manual to facilitate the public’s access to information held by the Company.
