    1. <\/b>INTRODUCTION\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The Promotion of Access to Information Act No 2 of 2000 (\u201cThe Act\u201d), establishes\u00a0 the following statutory rights of requesters to any record of a private body if:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      \u27a2 <\/span>That record is required for the exercise or protection of any of his or her legal\u00a0 rights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      \u27a2 <\/span>That requester complies with all the procedural requirements; and\u00a0 <\/span>\u27a2 <\/span>Access is not refused in terms of any ground referred to in the Act.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      In terms of the Act private bodies are required to publish a manual to assist\u00a0 requesters who wish to request access to a record. Rosehaven Retirement Village\u00a0 keeps numerous records pertaining to its operations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Rosehaven Retirement Village is a registered Non-Profit Organisation and self managed community services provider to the residents of Rosehaven, who have\u00a0 purchased the right (\u201cLife Right\u201d) to live at Rosehaven. The services offered\u00a0 include the general upkeep and maintenance of the common property and the\u00a0 provision of services to the residents such as electricity and water, cleaning\u00a0 service, gardening service and a catering service.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. SCOPE OF THE MANUAL\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        This manual has been prepared in respect of Rosehaven Retirement Village. The\u00a0 scope of this manual will serve to provide a reference regarding the records\u00a0 held by Rosehaven Retirement Village at its registered physical address.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. THE ACT\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          The Promotion of Access to Information Act, No 2 of 2000 (\u201cThe Act\u201d) was\u00a0 enacted on 3 February 2000, giving effect to the right of access to any information\u00a0 held by Government, as well as any information held by another person who is\u00a0 required for the exercising or protection of any rights. This right is entrenched in\u00a0 the Bill of Rights in the Constitution of South Africa. Where a request is made in\u00a0 terms of The Act, the body to which the request is made is not obliged to release\u00a0 the information, except where The Act expressly provides that the information\u00a0 may or must be released. The Act sets out the requisite procedural issues\u00a0 attached to such request.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. PURPOSE OF THE MANUAL\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            In order to promote effective governance of private bodies, it is\u00a0 necessary to ensure that everyone is empowered and educated to\u00a0 understand their rights in terms of The Act in order for them to exercise\u00a0 their rights in relation to public and private bodies.<\/b><\/p>\n

            Section 9 of The Act, however, recognizes that such right to access to information\u00a0 cannot be unlimited and should be subject to justifiable limitations, including, but\u00a0 not limited to:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            • <\/span>Limitations aimed at the reasonable protection of privacy.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
            • <\/span>Commercial confidentiality; and\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
            • <\/span>Effective, efficient, and good governance\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              And in a manner that balances that right with any other rights, including such\u00a0 rights contained in the Bill of Rights in the Constitution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

              Wherever reference is made to \u201cPrivate Body\u201d in this manual, it will refer to\u00a0 Rosehaven Retirement Village and all its entities for whom this manual is\u00a0 drafted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                                \n
                              • <\/span>Trade secrets of the <\/span>Private Body;\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n
                              • <\/span>Financial, commercial, scientific or technical information, disclosure\u00a0 which could likely cause harm to the financial or commercial interest of\u00a0 the <\/span>Private Body;\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n

                                  The <\/span>Private Body <\/b>does not have an internal appeal procedure. As such, the\u00a0 decision made by the Information Officer is final, and requesters will have to\u00a0 exercise such external remedies at their disposal if the request for information is\u00a0 refused, and the requester is not satisfied with the answer supplied by the\u00a0 Information Officer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                                  Likewise, a third party dissatisfied with an Information Officer\u2019s decision to grant\u00a0 a request for information, may within 30 days of notification of the decision, apply\u00a0 to a Court for relief. A Court for relief, is a Court of Law as referred to in The Act\u00a0 or any other Court of similar status.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                                    \n
                                  1. DECISION\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                    The <\/span>Private Body <\/b>will within 30 days of receipt of the request, decide whether\u00a0 to grant or decline the request and give notice with reasons (if required) to that\u00a0 effect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                                    The 30 day period within which the <\/span>Private Body <\/b>has to decide whether to grant\u00a0 or refuse the request, may be extended for further period of not more than thirty\u00a0 days if the request is for a large amount of information, or the request requires\u00a0 a search for information held at another office of the <\/span>Private Body <\/b>and the\u00a0 information cannot reasonably be obtained within the original 30 day period. The\u00a0 <\/span>Private Body <\/b>will notify the requester in writing should an extension be sought.<\/span><\/p>\n

                                                  The Promotion of Access to Information Act No 2 of 2000 (\u201cThe Act\u201d), establishes  the following statutory rights of requesters to any record of a private body if:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  \u27a2 That record is required for the exercise or protection of any of his or her legal  rights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  \u27a2 That requester complies with all the procedural requirements; and  \u27a2 Access is not refused in terms of any ground referred to in the Act.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  In terms of the Act private bodies are required to publish a manual to assist  requesters who wish to request access to a record. Rosehaven Retirement Village  keeps numerous records pertaining to its operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Rosehaven Retirement Village is a registered Non-Profit Organisation and self managed community services provider to the residents of Rosehaven, who have  purchased the right (\u201cLife Right\u201d) to live at Rosehaven. The services offered  include the general upkeep and maintenance of the common property and the  provision of services to the residents such as electricity and water, cleaning  service, gardening service and a catering service.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  2. SCOPE OF THE MANUAL <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  This manual has been prepared in respect of Rosehaven Retirement Village. The  scope of this manual will serve to provide a reference regarding the records  held by Rosehaven Retirement Village at its registered physical address.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  3. THE ACT <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  The Promotion of Access to Information Act, No 2 of 2000 (\u201cThe Act\u201d) was  enacted on 3 February 2000, giving effect to the right of access to any information  held by Government, as well as any information held by another person who is  required for the exercising or protection of any rights. This right is entrenched in  the Bill of Rights in the Constitution of South Africa. Where a request is made in  terms of The Act, the body to which the request is made is not obliged to release  the information, except where The Act expressly provides that the information  may or must be released. The Act sets out the requisite procedural issues  attached to such request. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  4. PURPOSE OF THE MANUAL <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  In order to promote effective governance of private bodies, it is  necessary to ensure that everyone is empowered and educated to  understand their rights in terms of The Act in order for them to exercise  their rights in relation to public and private bodies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Section 9 of The Act, however, recognizes that such right to access to information  cannot be unlimited and should be subject to justifiable limitations, including, but  not limited to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  \u2022 Limitations aimed at the reasonable protection of privacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  \u2022 Commercial confidentiality; and <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  \u2022 Effective, efficient, and good governance <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  And in a manner that balances that right with any other rights, including such  rights contained in the Bill of Rights in the Constitution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Wherever reference is made to \u201cPrivate Body\u201d in this manual, it will refer to  Rosehaven Retirement Village and all its entities for whom this manual is  drafted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  The Private Body <\/strong>does not have an internal appeal procedure. As such, the  decision made by the Information Officer is final, and requesters will have to  exercise such external remedies at their disposal if the request for information is  refused, and the requester is not satisfied with the answer supplied by the  Information Officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
