Know Your Duty: Reporting Corruption (Section 34 of PRECCA)

Did you know that South African law requires certain people to report corruption?

Under Section 34 of PRECCA:
• Who must report: People in positions of authority – like company directors, managers, CEOs, trustees, or government officials.
• What must be reported: Any corruption, fraud, theft, or forgery involving R100 000 or more.
• Where to report: Directly to the South African Police Service (SAPS).
• Penalty: Failing to report when required is a criminal offence.

Why it matters:
Reporting corruption protects your company, your community, and your country. It helps stop illegal activities and ensures accountability.

Important:
While ordinary citizens are not legally required to report under Section 34, you can and should report suspicious activity to authorities—it’s the right thing to do!

💡 Tip: If you’re in a position of authority and unsure, report early. It’s better to notify the authorities than risk legal trouble later.

Debt Review!

Many people are “signed up” for debt review by call-centre sales reps without ever meeting a registered debt counsellor, which is illegal.

🚨 Why this is a problem
• Debt review is a legal process under the National Credit Act (NCA).
• Only a registered debt counsellor can assess your financial situation and recommend debt review.
• A sales rep or agent has no authority to place you under debt review.
• If you never had a proper assessment and signed documents without understanding, your consent may not be valid.

The NCR can investigate and take action against the debt counsellor.

Apply to Court to set aside the debt review - If you were placed under debt review without proper consent, you (or an attorney) can apply to have the debt review rescinded/terminated by court.

When your debt review goes wrong, it usually means one of a few things: your debt counsellor isn’t managing the process properly, creditors are not co-operating, or you’re struggling to keep up with payments.

Consult an attorney or paralegal for urgent assistance, if your Debt Counselor is not assisting you - you can also change to a different Debt Counselor.

If you walk away from the process without guidance, creditors can blacklist you, attach assets, or issue garnishee orders.
Always exit through a proper legal channel.

IMPORTANT
Debt review can only be legally cancelled by a court before you are declared over-indebted, or through a clearance certificate once debts are settled. Be cautious of anyone promising a “quick exit” without a court process — that’s usually a scam.
