      5. Section 51(1) (e)   
      The Promotion of Access to Information Act 2 / 2000 allows people an opportunity to obtain information and documents from the Government and from businesses when this is needed. But this does not mean that all information can be accessed whenever someone wants it. The PAIA makes it clear that people may only request information for legitimate reasons such as the protection of a right or similar and that a company may refuse to disclose information that is confidential or secret or if the information concerns a third party such as an employee.
      To request information from Xpdian (Pty) Ltd the request form (downloadable here) must be fully completed and sent by registered mail, telefax or e-mail to our contact person together with a certified copy of the requestors’ identity book. Requests for information that do not comply with this process will be returned to the requestor. 
      Xpdian (Pty) Ltd are not in possession of any information that is freely available without a proper and procedurally correct request.   
      6. Section 51(1) (f)   
      There are costs for all information disclosed which the requestor must pay for before requested information is handed over. A schedule of costs that a company or the Government can charge a requestor according to the PAIA is attached to this Manual or can be found at the Government Printer, the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) or at www.paiact.com
