More newsSummary of the POPIA case of Munetsi v Madhuyu and Another
The Western Cape High Court recently handed down a judgment that applied certain provisions of the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA). Mr Munetsi (the applicant), applied to the court seeking relief (a public apology) in light of Mr Madhuyu and another’s (respondents) publication on social media platforms of the applicant’s personal information which he alleged to be defamatory. The respondents published the applicant’s mobile number on Facebook, together with a video. The video prompted the respondents’ followers to contact the applicant, and thus resulted in a large volume of phone calls made to his number. The applicant claimed that such publication breached POPIA’s provisions (without any reference to a particular clause), as well as his right to privacy.

The council for the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality (CoJ) recently approved the Privately-Owned Closed-Circuit Television Surveillance Camera By-Law (CCTV Camera By-Law). The CCTV Camera By-Law aims to promote the lawful and constitutional use of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras in public areas through the regulation and registration of privately-owned CCTV surveillance cameras. According to the CoJ, this is in the hopes of creating a safer city and safeguarding the constitutional rights to human dignity privacy, security of persons, freedom of movement and general well-being of the community.
