Consumer Protection Act empowers and protects SA consumers


Great news - South Africans are amongst the most protected consumers in the world, thanks to the new Consumer Protection Act* (CPA).

 
The Consumer Protection Act reinforces your right to complain. If you experience substandard service or receive poor quality products, visit the getclosure homepage to submit a complaint about any South African business and we will deliver it to them today.  This service is fast, free and effective.

Impact on businesses
Businesses have until 24 October 2010 to comply with the requirements of the Consumer Protection Act. The Act makes provision for a National Consumer Commission to be established in April 2010. This Commission will be responsible for the implementation of the Act after the October 2010 deadline.

The Act enables the National Consumer Commission to require businesses to deal with consumer concerns and complaints. To find out how getclosure can help your business comply with these requirements, contact Richard Wright at richard@getclosure.co.za.
