KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY
South Africa local regulations
In South Africa, telemarketing regulations are governed by the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) Key points include:
- POPIA requires opt-in consent for direct marketing by electronic means, but there is a debate on whether live telemarketing calls fall under this definition (Source: De Rebus)
- The CPA allows for an opt-out mechanism for direct marketing, including telemarketing, and restricts calling hours to weekdays from 8 AM to 8 PM and Saturdays from 9 AM to 1 PM (Source: Law Society of SA)
- The Information Regulator has taken a stance that telemarketing by telephone constitutes electronic communication, requiring opt-in consent, and is finalizing a guidance note to clarify this (Source: MyBroadband)
These regulations emphasize the need for businesses to obtain proper consent and adhere to restricted calling hours for telemarketing activities in South Africa.
