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.

What is verified—and what is still missing.
FixSA checked the SACR pages linked here on 19 August 2026. SACR's website describes the work, but some downloadable submission documents are still marked “coming soon.” Dates on some summary and detail pages also do not match, so this index deliberately omits those disputed dates.
