WATCH: What should scheme executives know about PoPIA?

The implementation of the Protection of Personal Information Act (PoPIA) on 1 July 2021 brings serious changes to the administration of community schemes, particularly when dealing with members’ or other stakeholders’ personal information.

All scheme executives, in this case, trustees, have a statutory and common law fiduciary obligation to act in good faith, and with due diligence and care in the interests of their community scheme at all times.

In this episode of Fitzanne’s Property Exchange, Pearl Scheltema interviews Dilen Heerschop, a lawyer at Schuler Heerschop Pienaar Inc Attorneys, to find out everything scheme executives need to know about PoPIA.
