5. Importantly, the Bill also transfers the responsibilities of the South African Human Rights Commission relating to the Promotion of Access to Information Act, No.2 of 2000 to an Information Regulator, which this Bill establishes. The Committee is acutely aware of the difficulties that have accompanied the implementation of that Act, including those relating to the high incidence of deemed refusals. At present, a requestor or third party must make use of litigation in the High Court to enforce the right of access to information. This is a lengthy process and can be prohibitively expensive. Although the Act provides also for right of recourse to a magistrates' court, this cannot occur as there are no magistrates designated to hear such matters. There have been many calls for the appointment of an independent information commissioner empowered to address matters relating to access to information. This Bill envisages that there will be a permanent Member of the Information Regulator dedicated to exercise powers and perform duties in terms of Promotion of Access to Information Act.
