Access to Information Manual (PAIA)

The Core Computer Business Proprietary (Company) t/a Nintendo Distributor South Africa
Registration number: 1991/005727/07

Manual prepared in terms of section 51 of the Promotion of Access to Information Act (ACT 2 OF 2000) (PAIA) and updated in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (ACT 4 OF 2013) (POPIA) (MANUAL).

Purpose

1. PAIA is an Act that was passed to give effect to the constitutional right, held by everyone in South Africa, of access to information which is held by the State or by another person and which is required for the exercise or protection of any right. Where a request is made in terms of PAIA, the body to which the request is made is obliged to give access to the requested information, except where the Act expressly provides that the information may or must not be released.
2. It is important to note that PAIA recognises certain limitations to the right of access to information, including, but not exclusively, 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.
3. POPIA was enacted in November 2013, to promote the protection of personal information processed by public and private bodies. POPIA amended certain provisions of PAIA, balancing the need for access to information with the need to ensure the protection of personal information.

Manual

1. One of the main requirements specified in PAIA is the compilation of an information manual that provides information on both the types and categories of records held by a private body. This document serves as the Company’s information manual. This Manual is compiled in accordance with section 51 of PAIA and the Schedule to POPIA. It is intended to give a description of the records held by and on behalf of the Company; to outline the procedure to be followed and the fees payable when requesting access to any of these records in the exercise of the right of access to information, with a view of enabling requesters to obtain records which they are entitled to in a quick, easy and accessible manner.
2. This Manual is available for public inspection:
1. at the physical address of the Company, recorded in paragraph 4 below, free of charge; and
