But don't you have to keep copies with the HRC too?

This is another bit of non-practical legislation. How can they possibly say that all trading sole proprietors must comply? Are they going to send Molly on the corner of our street to jail because she's selling sweets to pedestrians, and hasn't registered her PAIA manual? Yeah right.

Then I am a under the impression that this Act is being managed by the SAHRC. A quick trip to their website and I can't find any useful information on who must or how one must comply or by when. Their FAQ page takes you to their home page and their links on their compliance page don't work.

There is so much confusion over this Act due to the Government continually changing its mind that I'll adopt a wait and see attitude.
