iii. Request procedures:

Form of request:

The requester must use the prescribed form to make the request for access to a record. This must be made to the CEO of the private body. This request must be made to the address, fax number or electronic mail address of the body concerned [s53(1)].

The requester must provide sufficient detail on the request form to enable the head of the private body to identify the record and the requester. The requester should also indicate which form of access is required. The requester should also indicate if any other manner is to be used to inform the requester and state the necessary particulars to be so informed [s 53(2)(a) and (b) and ©].

The requester must identify the right that is sought to be exercised or to be protected and provide an explanation of why the requested record is required for the exercise or protection of that right [s 53(2)(d)].

If a request is made on behalf of a another person, the requester must then submit proof of the capacity in which the requester is making the request to the satisfaction of the head of the private body [s 53(2)(f)].

Fees:

A requester who seeks access to a record containing personal information about that requester is not required to pay the request fee. Every other requester, who is not a personal requester, must pay the required request fee:

The CEO of the private body must notify the requester (other than a personal requester) by notice, requiring the requester to pay the prescribed fee (if any) before further processing the request [s 54(1)].

The fee that the requester must pay to a private body is R50. The requester may lodge an application to the court against the tender or payment of the request fee [s 54(3)(b)].

After the CEO of the private body has made a decision on the request, the requester must be notified in the required form.

If the request is granted then a further access fee must be paid for the search, reproduction, preparation and for any time that has exceeded the prescribed hours to search and prepare the record for disclosure [s 54(6)].

5. Other information as may be prescribed [Section 51(1)(f)]

The Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development has not made any regulations in this regard.

6. Availability of the manual [Section 51(3)]

If you wish to request access to any information in terms of the Act, please contact the Information Officer [whose details are given in Part 1 above] whereupon an information request form will be mailed to you, or the SAHRC website [www.sahrc.org.za]. Kindly note that inspection of the manual is free of charge; however, in terms of the Act, there is a prescribed fee [payable in advance] for requesting and accessing further information. These fees are listed in the request form. Note further that you will not automatically be granted access to any information - you will need to clearly identify the right you wish to exercise or protect, as well as clearly explain why the requested information is required for the exercising and/or protection of that right. You will be notified, via the request form, whether your request has been granted.

Focusing on Enterprise-wide Project and Portfolio Management implementation, we are perfectly poised to add value to your organisation.
