2 PREFACE Section 32(1) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa Act 108 of 1996 (the Constitution), provides that everyone has the right of access to records or/and information held by the state and any information held by another person and that is required for the exercise or protection of any rights. This section affirms the fundamental right of access to information and seeks to promote a culture of transparency and accountability in the private and public sector. Section 32(2) of the Constitution provides for the enactment of a national legislation to give effect to this fundamental right. The Promotion of Access to Information Act 2 of 2000 (PAIA) is the national legislation contemplated in section 32(2) of the Constitution. Section 10 of PAIA provides that the South African Human Rights Commission must compile simple and easily comprehensible guidelines on how to use the Promotion of Access to Information Act. The Commission is proud to present this; the first publication of the Guide in compliance with its mandate in terms section 10 of PAIA. The narrative part of the Guide is published in all 11 official languages beginning with English and thereafter arranged in alphabetical order. While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information and data in the Guide, mobility of officials and change of addresses by public bodies may well have affected the currency of some of the information. Due to the fact that some private bodies (private bodies other than public companies in terms of section 20 of the Companies Act) have been temporarily exempted from publishing section 51 manuals we have not included the contact details of the private bodies in this first publication of the Guide. An electronic version of the Guide will be kept on the website of the South African Human Rights Commission, and will be updated monthly to keep the public abreast of developments and changes regarding the contact details of information officers of public bodies and general information on PAIA. The Commission is committed to monitoring, promoting and ensuring the implementation of the right of access to information. PAIA is a legislative milestone in the light of the pre 1994 political environment of secrecy and human rights violations that characterised the system of government. The unique horizontal application of the Bill of Rights in the Constitution makes South Africa s freedom of information legislation unique in the world, in that PAIA is the only freedom of information legislation that permits access to records held by private bodies. We commend the drafters of PAIA for this futuristic unique feature of PAIA especially in the light of the considerable power that multinational companies wield in the global arena today, particularly the negative impact of some of their activities on fundamental human rights in some regions - especially the third world regions. PAIA was significantly assented to during the first decade of democracy in South Africa. In recognition of this fact and in line with the national ten year celebration of democracy, the South African Human Rights Commission hosted the Second International Conference of Information Commissioners in Cape Town on 2 and 3 February 2004 which was attended by information commissioners from more that 25 countries from across the world. We were proud to share our experiences with old and page 2 - The Guide on how to use the Promotion of Access to Information Act - Act 2 of 2000

3 newcomers in the information regime. It was worth noting that access to information regimes were fast gaining momentum around the world. Countries such as Mexico, Pakistan and the United Kingdom that previously did not have access to information legislation now have such legislation. Mexico (which is the host of the 3 rd International Conference of Information Commissioners in February 2005) adopted its Federal Transparency and Access to Public Government Information Law in 2002; Pakistan adopted its Freedom of Information Ordinance 2002 in October 2002 while the United Kingdom approved its Freedom of Information Act 2000 in November This Guide is an important tool in the enjoyment of the constitutional right of access to information in our country, and it has been compiled with a deep sense of pride. We thus record our sincere thanks to the members of the Promotion of Access to Information Act Unit (PAIA Unit) within the Research and Documentation Department of the Commission who made it possible for this Guide to be compiled. These members are: Adv. Mothusi Lepheana (Manager of the Unit) for his contribution, guidance and motivation, Ms. Bernadette Kotelo for her invaluable administrative support, and the Research Team; Mr. Mziwodumo Rubushe, Mr. Kgositoi Aubrey Sedupane and Ms. Sakuntala Veersamy for their invaluable contribution to the compilation of the Guide. We also wish to thank Ms. Clare Wyllie, the Commission s Publications Officer for her support. Thanks also to Dr Leon Wessels (Commissioner responsible for the right of access to information and Chairperson of the PAIA Committee in the Commission) for his guidance to the PAIA Unit and PAIA Committee. We thank Ms. Lindiwe Mokate (CEO and Information Officer of the Commission) for her contribution, guidance and support in the compilation of this Guide. We hope that the Guide will provide assistance and will benefit all the people of South Africa, as well as both its public and private bodies.

4 FOREWORD It is with joy to present to the nation the first edition of the Section 10 Guide in terms of the Promotion of Access to Information Act No 2 of 2000 (PAIA). This Guide is the first on the African continent and the access to information right, as provided in our Constitution, is the only one in the world that applies to both public and private bodies. This Guide has also been translated into all the 11 official languages of the Republic of South Africa for easy access by all the people of our beautiful country. To move from a deeply inculcated culture of secrecy and bureaucracy to a culture of transparency and accountability is a mammoth challenge. The prejudice against responsive and open governance is certainly not confined to the previous order. The current hostile and ignorant responses received by the Commission in respect of PAIA are proof of this observation. It is of critical importance that the citizens be informed about PAIA and how the right of access to information can work for their benefit. Participation in democratic processes can only be effective if it is informed participation. Many of the tragedies in South African history could have been prevented had there been an access to information regime in operation. It is however important that PAIA reaches far beyond the traditional political civil rights and that it adds a new dimension to public debate on every day issues that citizens have to face. Public and private bodies must understand that their responsibilities under PAIA are not intended to be a costly burden but an essential mechanism to ensure good governance and the transformation of our society. The right, as well as the other entrenched rights should not only be approached in an adversarial manner but rather used as a vehicle to change our society and an opportunity to deal with the vestiges of apartheid. PAIA is central to the transformation of our society. The rule of law and the democratic constitutional state will perish if there is not open and accountable government. The importance and magnitude of the Commission s constitutional role to monitor and report annually on the realization of socioeconomic rights is matched by its obligation under PAIA. I would be failing in my duty if I don t express my special thanks to the PAIA Unit for the countless hours they have given towards the compilation of this Guide. You have through this Guide contributed towards healing the wounds of the past and enhancing our new democracy. We will rejoice if ordinary citizens of our country use this Guide and thereby give more meaning to their freedoms for which they have fought so hard. Yours sincerely Dr Leon Wessels Commissioner responsible for the Promotion of Access to Information Act South African Human Rights Commission page 4 - The Guide on how to use the Promotion of Access to Information Act - Act 2 of 2000
