Spam callers face penalties of up to R1,000,000 in South Africa

So a few amendments made, but what I really am happy to finally see, is the loophole closed around marketers opting in or not: “Any direct marketer who is not registered on the opt-out registry is prohibited from contacting consumers for marketing purposes”. They have to pay to register, and abide with monthly conditions, and of course there is now potentially a hefty fine too. I suppose the only issue is going to be around “foreign marketing” but so far all my spam callers had seemed to be for South African companies.
