2.  THE ACT

The Promotion of Access to Information Act, No 2 of 2000 (“The Act” or “PAIA”) was enacted on 3 February 2000, giving effect to the right of access to any information held by Government, as well as any information held by another person who is required for the exercising or protection of any rights. This right is entrenched in the Bill of Rights in the Constitution of South Africa. Where a request is made in terms of The Act, the body to which the request is made is not obliged to release the information, except where The Act expressly provides that the information may or must be released. The Act sets out the requisite procedural issues attached to such request.

  • Limitations aimed at the reasonable protection of privacy;
  • Commercial confidentiality; and
  • Effective, efficient and good governance

And in a manner that balances that right with any other rights, including such rights contained in the Bill of Rights in the Constitution.

The requester must pay the prescribed fee before any further processing can take place.

12.  GROUNDS FOR REFUSAL OF ACCESS TO INFORMATION

  • Mandatory protection of the privacy of a third party that is a natural person that would involve the unreasonable disclosure of personal information of that natural person;
  • Mandatory protection of the commercial information of a third party, if the record contains:

oTrade secrets of that third party;

oFinancial, commercial, scientific or technical information, disclosure of which could likely cause harm to the financial or commercial interests of that third party;

oInformation disclosed in confidence by a third party to the Private Body, if the disclosure could put that third party at a disadvantage in negotiations or commercial competition;

  • Mandatory protection of confidential information of third parties if it is protected in terms of any agreement;
  • Mandatory protection of confidential information of the protection of property;
  • Mandatory protection of records that would be regarded as privileged in legal proceedings;

    • Financial, commercial, scientific or technical information, disclosure which could likely cause harm to the financial or commercial interest of Purple

Carrot Creations Pty Ltd ; o Information which, if disclosed could put Purple Carrot Creations Pty Ltd at a disadvantage in negotiations or commercial competition;

  • A computer program, owned by Purple Carrot Creations Pty Ltd and protected by copyright.
  • The research information of Purple Carrot Creations Pty Ltd or a third party, if its disclosure would reveal the identity of Purple Carrot Creations Pty Ltd, the researcher or the subject matter of the research and would place the research at a serious disadvantage;

Requests for information that are clearly frivolous or vexatious, or which would involve an unreasonable diversion of resources shall be refused.

13.  DECISION

Purple Carrot Creations Pty Ltd will within 30 days of receipt of the request, decide whether to grant or decline the request and give notice with reasons (if required) to that effect.

The requester shall be informed whether access has been granted or denied in the form of Form 3 (Annexure C). If, in addition, the requester requires the reason for the decision in any other manner, they must state the manner and the particulars so required.

The 30 day period within which Purple Carrot Creations Pty Ltd has to decide whether to grant or refuse the request, may be extended for further period of not more than 30 days if the request is for a large amount of information, or the request requires a search for information held at another office of Purple Carrot Creations Pty Ltd and the information cannot reasonably be obtained within the original 30 day period.
