Maverick MAgician trading as Maverick Magician Prepared in terms of section 51 of the Promotion of Access to Information Act 2 of 2000 (PAIA), read with POPIA. Last updated: 13 August 2026

Why this exists: every private body in South Africa must have a PAIA manual. The old blanket exemption for small private bodies lapsed at the end of 2021. Most small businesses do not know this. Publish this on the website's legal page once completed, and keep a copy available at the business address.
