POPIA isn't just for large corporations.
If your business stores customer information, whether names, phone numbers or email addresses, you have legal responsibilities.

Ask yourself:
- Do customers know why you're collecting their data?
- Is their information stored securely?
- Could they ask you to delete it?

Protecting personal information builds trust and reduces legal risk.

A post can be shared in seconds, but its consequences can last much longer.

Whether it's defamatory comments, breaches of confidentiality, copyright infringement, or workplace misconduct, social media continues to create legal challenges for individuals and businesses alike.

Before hitting "post", consider whether what you're sharing could expose you, or your company, to legal risk.

From screening CVs to monitoring employee performance, AI is becoming part of everyday business operations. But who is responsible when an AI system makes a mistake, discriminates against a candidate, or breaches privacy rights?

As artificial intelligence becomes more common in the workplace, businesses need to ensure that technology supports compliance, not creates legal risk.

The law is still catching up, but employers should already be considering transparency, fairness, and data protection when using AI tools.

A recent decision by the Supreme Court of Appeal of South Africa in Els v Venter and Another clarified an important point for residential landlords and tenants.

Where a landlord:
✔ Is a natural person (an individual)
✔ Is not in the business of leasing residential properties as part of their ordinary business
..they are not considered a "supplier" under the Consumer Protection
Act, 2008. This means the Consumer Protection Act may not apply to the termination of that residential lease, and the rights and obligations of the parties will instead be determined by the lease agreement and the applicable common law.

Every lease is unique, so it's important to obtain legal advice before terminating a lease or taking action.
