Minister Parks Tau has officially launched the 's upgraded Beneficial Ownership module, signaling a crackdown on non-compliant South African businesses.

Here is what every company owner needs to know:

⚠️ Upcoming legislative amendments will allow the CIPC to deregister companies that fail to file beneficial ownership information for two consecutive years.

⚠️ CIPC will soon have the power to issue administrative fines directly for non-compliance.

⚠️ Deregistration freezes business bank accounts and voids corporate standing.

Ensure your business remains active and fully compliant:

Can an employee be dismissed for something they posted on their personal social media accounts?

In South Africa, the short answer is yes, if that post harms the employer's business or reputation.

While employees have a right to privacy, that right is not absolute when off-duty conduct impacts the workplace.

Clear social media policies and proper contract classification are essential to managing workplace risk.

Is your business compliant? 📄⚖️

Many business owners assume that registering a business at the is enough, but under and , statutory compliance requires two crucial steps:

🔹 Every business must formally register its Information Officer (and any Deputy Officers) on the Information Regulator’s official portal.
🔹 You are legally required to maintain an up-to-date Section 51 PAIA Manual detailing how your business holds records and processes personal information.

Failing to complete these steps leaves your company vulnerable to fines and enforcement actions.

As voice cloning and video deepfakes become more convincing, the line between digital convenience and criminal liability is blurring.

In South Africa, creating or sharing synthetic media without authorisation isn't just unethical, it has consequences across multiple legal frameworks:

🔹 Violations: Facial data and voice recordings are classified as Special Personal Information. Processing them without consent breaches statutory privacy rules.
🔹 Cybercrimes Act 19 of 2020: Using for extortion, impersonation, or fake commercial endorsements constitutes cyber fraud.
🔹 Reputational Rights: Victims retain common-law remedies for defamation and infringements on their dignity.

Whether you are securing corporate governance protocols or mitigating a digital privacy breach, our legal team is here to help.

Claire Waldeck unpacks the legal risk that occurs when a brand name becomes so popular that consumers use it as the generic word for an entire product category, think and .

Here’s why that matters for your business:

👉 Marketers love when a brand name becomes a household word, but from an Intellectual Property perspective, it can backfire.

👉 Dilution: If consumers stop distinguishing your specific brand from the general product, your legal exclusivity weakens.

👉 Protecting your brand’s commercial value requires actively enforcing your rights and ensuring your brand name stays distinct.
