The requester must use the prescribed form to request access to a record, made to the head of the private body at the address, fax number or email of the body concerned. Sufficient detail must be provided to identify the record and the requester, the form of access required, and the manner in which the requester wishes to be informed. The requester must identify the right that is sought to be exercised or protected, and explain why the record is required for the exercise or protection of that right. Where a request is made on behalf of another person, proof of capacity must be submitted.
A requester seeking access to a record containing their own personal information is not required to pay the request fee. Every other requester must pay the required request fee. The head of the private body will notify the requester of the fee (if any) before further processing. The request fee payable to a private body is R50. Once a decision is made, the requester is notified in the required form. If granted, a further access fee is payable for the search, reproduction, preparation and for any time exceeding the prescribed hours.
Reproduction fees include: R1.10 per photocopy or printed A4 page; R0.75 per stiffy disc; R40.00 per compact disc; and set fees for transcription of visual images and audio records. Six hours is the threshold before a deposit is payable, and one third of the access fee is payable as a deposit. Actual postage is payable when a copy must be posted.
The manual is available for inspection at the offices of the private body free of charge. Copies are also available from the SAHRC and, where applicable, on the private body’s website. The Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development has not made any regulations prescribing further information in this regard.
