The Information Regulator has welcomed the Justice Minister’s decision to halt the publication of the National Register of Sex Offenders (NRSO), citing concerns over privacy laws and legal compliance. But what does this mean for victims, public safety, and the fight against gender-based violence in South Africa?

In this thought-provoking discussion, Samm Marshall interviews Nomzamo Zondi, Senior Manager: Communication and Media at the Information Regulator, to explore the balance between protecting personal information and ensuring justice. Can transparency and privacy coexist? What legal and ethical challenges does this decision raise?

Tune in for an in-depth conversation on the future of the NRSO, the impact of POPIA, and the broader implications for crime prevention and public trust.
