Participation works better when people know the tools.
PAIA
Promotion of Access to Information Act 2 of 2000
The law that helps turn a public question into a records request.
Section 32 of the Constitution protects access to information. PAIA gives effect to that right: it can be used to request records held by public bodies, and certain records held by private bodies when needed to exercise or protect a right.
General civic information only—not legal advice.
