BACKGROUND, SCOPE AND AVAILABILITY
On 9 March 2001, the Promotion of Access to Information Act, No. 2 of 2000 (“the Act”) became operative, giving effect to the section 32(2) Constitutional right of access to information. One of the main requirements specified in the Act, is the compilation of an information manual that provides information on both the types and categories of records held by a private body. These documents serve as the South African National Council for the Blind and the SANCB Trust's information manuals and provide reference to the records held by the South African National Council for the Blind and the process to request access to such records.

Please see these attached Section 51 Manuals. We are required by law to have these available on our website and are also sure that they make for some interesting reading.
