No-spam list for SA rendered useless?

Thank god for being able to block visible numbers on the Galaxy. I had a company that tried to contact me on my cell and when I blocked them they phone me on my direct office line, so I blocked them on that as well. I received a snotty email saying that they have been trying to contact me and cannot, with which I blocked their domain too just to make the playing field fair.

I haven't received anything since putting myself on that list, except for sms-spam and calls from my bank and my cell service provider.

I've been on that list for over a year now and loving it. I'm only opt-in for marketing at FNB (in order to earn eBucks) and they've been very responsible with that consent, so I rarely get phone calls, sms'es, etc.

When does the new bill come into effect?

Also, won't the National Opt-out still apply to the below exceptions?

Tobias Schonwetter, director of UCT’s intellectual property unit in the Faculty of Law, previously told MyBroadband that POPI requires you to explicitly opt in to direct marketing, with the following exception:

- The direct marketer obtained the client’s contact details in the context of a previous sale,
- the purpose of the direct marketing pertains to a similar product or service, and
- the client has been given the opportunity to opt-out of such communication and has not made use of it.

Ah bugger, but I guess the marketing people might keep using it anyway if it saves them from phoning people who are just going to hang up on them. And who ever actually opts in to receive these calls anyway?

I know that I sure as hell have never opted for any of this shit, EVER. I even use fake cellphone numbers these days when signing in on security sheets at customers because I don't know where these guys got my number, but they're on me like flies on dookie and I'm getting beyond frustrated.
