38 No. 42746 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3 OCTOBER 2019 Act No. 22 of 2019 Property Practitioners Act, 2019 38 (12) An inspector who removes anything from premises being searched must— (a) (b) issue a written receipt for it to the owner of or person in control of the premises in sufficient detail to identify each specific thing so removed; and return it as soon as practicable after achieving the purpose for which it was removed to the person from whose control it was taken, unless it is to be used as evidence in any subsequent proceedings, in which case the inspector must forthwith in writing inform the person from whose control it was taken of that fact. (13) During a search conducted under a search warrant, a person may refuse to permit the removal of an article, document or record on the grounds that it contains privileged or protected information, but that person may not cause such article, document or record to be amended, altered or destroyed until the inspector has been afforded a reasonable time to act under subsection (14). (14) If the owner or person in control of an article or document refuses to give the article, document or record to the inspector conducting the search, that inspector may in writing request the registrar or sheriff of the High Court that has jurisdiction to attach and remove the article, document or record for safe custody until a court determines whether or not the information is privileged or protected. (15) A police officer who is assisting the inspector in terms of this section may use as much force as is necessary, including breaking a door or window of the premises, or the breaking of any lock which prevents the search of any safe, storage facility or other receptacle on the premises, to overcome resistance by any person to the entry and search. (16) Before using force, a police officer must audibly demand admission or access and must announce the purpose of entry, unless it is reasonable to believe that doing so may induce someone to destroy, dispose of or conceal an article, document or record that forms part of the search or is otherwise relevant to the search. (17) A person who submits any information to an inspector or makes any statement to him or her may indicate to the inspector that he or she claims confidentiality in respect of any information or statement so provided, and the inspector must deal with such information in accordance with the relevant law. Compliance notices 26. (1) The Minister must, from time to time, determine— (a) contraventions of the Act that are of a minor nature; and (b) contraventions of the Act that are of a substantial nature. (2) The Minister must publish the determinations referred to in subsection (1) by notice in the Gazette and the Authority must publish the determinations on its website and via any other medium it deems fit. (3) The Minister must, by notice in the Gazette, prescribe the maximum fines in respect of each type of contravention which the Authority may determine for the purposes of subsection (5): Provided that such a maximum fine may not for a particular year exceed the amount prescribed in respect of one year of imprisonment in accordance with the Adjustment of Fines Act, 1991 (Act No. 101 of 1991), at any particular moment in time. (4) The Authority may, where an inspection or investigation by an inspector indicates a contravention of this Act which is of a minor nature as determined under subsection (1), issue a compliance notice in the prescribed format to the person so allegedly contravening this Act, calling on that person to comply with this Act within a period specified in the compliance notice, which period must be reasonable in the circum- stances. (5) The Authority may, in the compliance notice, determine a fine to be paid by the person concerned if such person, in writing, on the compliance notice acknowledges his, her or its failure to comply with this Act as stated in the compliance notice. 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 This gazette is also available free online at www.gpwonline.co.za Mulayo wa Vhashumi vha zwa Ndaka, 2019 Nom 22 ya 2019 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3 OCTOBER 2019 No. 42746 39 (12) Muingameli ane a dzhia tshithu tshin˙ we na tshin˙ we afho zwifha khou sedzuluswa u tea u — toni zwine zwa ˆ 39 (a) n etshedza rasithi yo tou n˙ walwaho kha uyo mun ˆ ˆ a khou langa zwifha to ho dodombedzwa zwidodombedzwa zwa u ˆ tshithu tshin˙ we na tshin˙ we tsho dzhiiwaho; na to kana muthu ane ˆ talusa ˆ e wa zwifha (b) u humisa itsho tshe tsha dzhiiwa musi ho no thoma ha swikelelwa ndivho ye tsha dzhielwa yone tshi humiselwe kha uyo muthu we a dzhielwa, nga nnd a ha ˆ tanzi kha khothe/tsengo ine ya musi tshi tshi kha d ˆ ˆ khou ya u itwa, nahone arali zwo ralo muingameli u d o tea u n˙ walela uyo we ˆ a dzhielwa a mu vhudza mbuno dzo teaho. o ya u shumiswa sa vhu i d ˆ thisedzo ya u (13) Musi hu tshi khou sedzuluswa hu tshi khou shumiswa khwa ˆ lin˙ walwa kana sedzulusa, muthu a nga hana u fha thendelo ya u dzhiiwa ha atiki li, ˆ ˆ rekhodo a tshi khou hana o d isendeka kha mbuno dza uri hu na mafhungo o faredzwaho ˆ henefho ane a si a nnyi na nnyi kana mafhungo o tsireledzwaho, fhedzi uyo muthu a nga si ite uri atiki iswe, shandukiswe kana u kherukanywa u swikela muingameli a tshi wana tshifhinga tshi pfadzaho tsha u shumisa khethekanyo lo kana rekhodo iyo i khwin ˆ ˆ lin˙ walwa i ˆ li iyo, ˆ (14) Arali mun ˆ e wa kana muthu ane a khou langa iyi atiki lin˙ walwa a hana ˆ lin˙ walwa kana rekhodo uri a ite tsedzuluso, uyo muingameli u fha muingameli atiki li, ˆ ˆ a wa Khothe Khulwane a re na nga u tou n˙ wala a nga humbela redzhis maand lin˙ walwa kana ˆ ˆ rekhodo uri i iswe kha vhufhethu ho tsireledzeaho u swika khothe i tshi lavhelesa uri naa mafhungo ayo ndi o khetheaho naa kana ndi o tsireledzwaho. alanga kha uyo mukano uri a nambatedze na u dzhia atiki tra kana mud ˆ ˆ lo li kana i ˆ ˆ ind ˆ li, ˆ thukhu ya (14). ˆ line ˆ (15) Pholisa la khou thusa muingameli u ya nga iyi khethekanyo ˆ li nga shumisa ˆ khombetshedzo u ya nga afho hune u kombetshedza ha ea, hu tshi khou katelwa u tod ˆ ˆ loko ine ya khou thivhela u kwasha vothi kana fasi tere afho zwifha toni, kana u kwasha ˆ ˆ ˆ sedzulusa sefoni, tshitoredzhi kana tshifaredzi henefho zwifha toni, u itela u kunda uvho ˆ vhukond ˆ (16) Phand li tea u amba zwi tshi tou pfala uri ˆ ˆ li tea u d a ha tod li khou ivhadza ndivho ya u dzhena, nga nnd ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ musi hu na lutendo lu pfalaho uri u ita zwenezwo zwa u humbela u dzhena zwi nga ita uri muthu ane a sa lin˙ walwa li, ta kana u dzumba atiki e u vula a nga vho tshinyadza, la ˆ ˆ ˆ kana rekhodo ine ya khou ita uri hu vhe na tsedzuluso kana yone ine ya khou a ha u shumisa khombetshedzo, pholisa i vhune ha khou itwa nga muthu. a u dzhena na uri pholisa tamennde a nga sumbedza kha uyo muingameli uri u khou ˆ (17) Muthu ane a fha muingameli n ˆ ta tshi ˆ malugana na nd ˆ muingameIi u tea u shumana na iyo nd ˆ ta ivhiso in˙ we na in˙ we kana tshi ˆ tamennde tsho n ˆ ˆ ivhiso u ya nga mulayo wo fanelaho. tod ˆ ˆ divhiso ifhio na ifhio kana ane a ita a tshidzumbe etshedzwaho, nahone tod ˆ ˆ tod ˆ ˆ wa. ivhadzo malugana na u tevhedza Mulayo Nd ˆ 26.

No. 42746
The Minister may declare a property-market business practice undesirable and prohibited, and candidate property practitioners may not draft or complete certain documents. Principal property practitioners with more than one business premises must supervise and control staff, and the Authority may issue compliance notices for contraventions.
76 No. 42746 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3 OCTOBER 2019 Act No. 22 of 2019 Property Practitioners Act, 2019 76 (4) The acquittal or conviction of a property practitioner by any court of law upon any criminal charge is not a bar to proceedings against him or her or it under this Act on a charge of sanctionable conduct, despite the facts set forth in the charge of sanctionable conduct constituting, if proved, the offence set forth in the criminal charge on which he, she or it was so acquitted or convicted or any other offence on which he, she or it might have been convicted at his, her or its trial on that criminal charge. Undesirable practices 63. (1) Subject to subsection (2), the Minister may, after consultation with the Board, by notice in the Gazette, declare a particular business practice in the property market to be undesirable and consequently prohibited. (2) When deciding whether or not a declaration contemplated in subsection (1) should be made, the Minister and the Board must consider— (a) (b) (c) the right of every citizen to freely choose their trade, occupation or profession; that the practice concerned, directly or indirectly, has or is likely to have the effect of— (i) damaging the relations between property practitioners, or any specific property practitioner, on the one hand, and any specific consumer, category of consumers or the general public on the other hand; (ii) unreasonably prejudicing any consumer or category of consumers; (iii) deceiving any consumer or category of consumers; or (iv) unfairly affecting any consumer or category of consumers; and that if the practice is allowed to continue, one or more of the objects of this Act as contemplated in section 2 will or is likely to be defeated. (3) The Authority may issue a compliance notice contemplated in section 26 directing a property practitioner who, on or after the date of the publication of a notice contemplated in subsection (2) carries on a business practice in contravention of that notice, to rectify to the satisfaction of the Authority anything which was caused by or arose out of the carrying on of the business practice concerned, or otherwise deal with the matter as authorised by this Act or any other applicable law. Supervision of candidate property practitioners 64. (1) A candidate property practitioner may not draft or complete any document or clause in a document— (a) conferring any mandate on any property practitioner to perform any act referred to in paragraph (a), (c) or (d) of the definition of ‘‘property practitioner’’ in section 1; or relating to the sale or lease of property. (b) (2) A person who contravenes subsection (1) and a property practitioner who allows an act contemplated in subsection (1) is not entitled to any payment, remuneration, consideration or damages in respect of or by reason of any document contemplated in that subsection or for bringing about the transaction or agreement embodied in that document. (3) In any proceedings in respect of sanctionable conduct, it is no defence that the principal property practitioner was not aware of the acts or omissions of the property practitioner or the candidate property practitioner. (4) A principal property practitioner who conducts business from more than one business premises must supervise and control the property practitioners and candidate property practitioners in his, her or its employ, despite the fact that those property practitioners conduct their business in branch or other offices. 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 This gazette is also available free online at www.gpwonline.co.za Mulayo wa Vhashumi vha zwa Ndaka, 2019 Nom 22 ya 2019 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3 OCTOBER 2019 No. 42746 77 77 ifari vhune ha ita uri hu vhe na nda (4) U sa vhonwa mulandu kana u wanwa mulandu ha mushumi wa zwa ndaka nga khothe ya mulayo in˙ we na in˙ we kha mulandu mun˙ we na mun˙ we a si tshithivheli kha u sengisa mushumi wa zwa ndaka nga fhasi ha uno Mulayo ho sedzwa mulandu wa vhud tiso, naho hu na mbuno dzo vhewaho kha ˆ ˆ mulandu u kwamaho vhud ifari vhune ha ita uri muthu a nyambudzwe une arali zwo ˆ thisedzwa kana hu na tsumbo ine ya sumbedza uri hu na vhukhakhi sa zwo khwa ˆ sumbedzwaho kha mulandu wa vhugevhenga, une o vha a songo wanwa mulandu kana vhutshinyi vhun˙ we na vhun˙ we vhune khaho a nga vhonwa mulandu ngei tsengoni ya mulandu wa vhugevhenga.
