PAIA Manual

SECTION 51 MANUAL FOR 36ONE ASSET MANAGEMENT (PTY) LTD

A. Introduction

The Promotion of Access to Information Act, No 2 of 2000 (“the Act”) gives effect to the constitutional right of access to any information in records held by public (government) or private (non-government) bodies that is required for the exercise of protection of any rights. Where a request is made in terms of the Act, 36ONE Asset MAnagement is obliged to release the information, except where the Act expressly provides that the information may or must not be released.

This manual informs requesters of procedural and other requirements which a request must meet as prescribed by the Act. It is important to note that the Act recognises certain limitations to the right of access to information, including, but not limited to, limitations aimed at the reasonable protection of privacy, commercial confidentiality, and effective, efficient and good governance, and in a manner which balances that right with any other rights, including such rights contained in the Bill of Rights in the Constitution.
