2.3.4
Where to find the manual of a private body
All private bodies that are required to compile a manual must make the manual easily
available to you. At the very least, they are required to do so in the following ways:
By making a copy available for inspection at every office of that particular
private body during office hours. A private body may not charge a fee for
inspection;
By making the manual available on their website.
2.3.5
How to comply if you are a private body
There is useful guidance for information officers of private companies seeking to comply
with Section 51 of PAIA on the South African Human Rights Commission’s website
(www.sahrc.org.za). This includes a downloadable template which information officers can
use as a roadmap.
In terms of section 51, the head of a private body must:
Update any material changes on the manual on a regular basis;
Make the manual available as prescribed by the Act at the company
offices and on their website;
Must annex a request form (PAIA Form C) to the manual and also make
request forms available on the website and at all company premises.
The manual must at the very least contain the following information:
Requirement
Description
Contact details
The postal and street address, phone and fax
number and, if available, the e-mail address
of the information officer of the private
company body.
Some information is readily available
without a person having to request access in
terms of PAIA. The manual of the private
company must indicate this information
which is readily available.
