Legality aside you'd be best to sign up on the Direct Marketing opt out list - https://www.nationaloptout.co.za/

Some scrupulous companies will have a blanket waiver I their t&c that they can pass on data to 3rd parties.
Even POPI will not help you with it unless the addresses were sold on, but this is difficult you prove.
Unless the companies are completely unrelated, it will be tough to take any action. Use the ECT act rather for unsolicited email.
