1. Regulations to the Protection of Personal Information Act (PoPI)

The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development has invited the public to comment on the Draft Regulations relating to the Protection of Personal Information in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013.

The deadline for the 2017 reporting period is 15 January 2018.
