Zimbabwe’s POTRAZ Stresses Compliance with New Data Protection Regulations

At a recent POTRAZ Stakeholder Breakfast Meeting held at Golden Conifer, key board members and executives from both the public and private sectors gathered to discuss the implementation of Zimbabwe’s Cyber and Data Protection Act and related regulations.

The meeting, highlighted on LinkedIn by Hon. Tatenda Mavetera, Minister of ICTPCS and MP for Chikomba West, emphasized the urgency for organizations handling personal data to secure a data protection license, with fees ranging from $50 to $2,500.

Even churches who collect personal data ought to have such a licence and appoint a DPO. Whatsapp group admins are not spared too, if your groups are meant for business, you should as well obtain a licence.
Failure to comply attracts penalties.
