Looks like a case of negligence from nandos rather than popia failure...
Still slow I see. Let me join the neuron dots for you.
Fines are a great tool to ensure accountability and responsibility. You only have to look what happening in other countries. Educate yourself on the GDPR. Yet in South Africa any crappy programmer that knows half a keyboard and zero cybersecurity sense
is it. Once the risk of punitive damages increases, affecting shareholdings, suddenly CFOs start taking notice. They actually start insisting that marketeers and suppliers have sufficient verifiable skills.
But that won't happen atm. Because POPIA has been rapidly not been happening -
since pa fell off the wagon ... and into the firepool.
In the meantime our information gets stolen, abused and traded. Yet what real cyber crime protection do we have? Remember debit order fraud? Ever heard about BEC? Atm you are on the internet highway posting here, but nobody is really in control of the cars. There are laws, but nobody is in a position to enforce them. The closest we come to it is SAPS. Yet the Cyber Crimes Bill, despite all it's flaws, is still a low priority. In the meantime we're one of the top cyber crime targeted countries in the world. Yet it doesn't exist as per SAPS. Do you want to argue? Show me our cyber crime stats.
Now, just to go and make yourself feel good, look at

Not only this, but other types of cyber crime are forcing businesses to close, people to loose jobs.
Why are we here in this fsck'ed up situation? I think I've now given you enough clues to go join those dots.
The urge to blame government for everything is just irresponsible
The urge to deny and understand where the failures are if you have no understanding, is not irresponsible, it's pure recklessness. You're on my terrain here. See me as that secretary bird, Mamba.
