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.
