The National Consumer Commission expects consumer opt-out activities to experience high traffic volumes.
YOUR DATA ISN’T YOURS. The government’s National Consumer Commission is quietly building a MASSIVE SECRET REGISTRY to track your every move, and they’re now openly asking tech giants and shadowy contractors to make it UNSTOPPABLE. Buried in a mundane tender list is a sinister truth: the NCC is constructing a system to log MILLIONS of private consumer decisions, predicting “HIGH TRAFFIC VOLUMES” as desperate citizens scramble to opt-out of invasive marketing. This isn’t about protection—it’s about CONTROL, and they want to make it PROFITABLE for corporations.
While South Africans battle rolling blackouts, the state is diverting resources to a SNOOPING PORTAL set to launch in 2026, a system they admit will be used to “cleanse” consumer lists for direct marketers. They’re not just watching; they’re CREATING A MARKETPLACE for your private life, soliciting “new revenue generation models” from the very entities that profit from your data. This is a BRAZEN merger of state surveillance and corporate greed, all under the flimsy guise of the Consumer Protection Act.
In a SHOCKING parallel move, Eskom seeks AI-powered robots to patrol its failing infrastructure, while other departments scramble for firewalls and backups, exposing a fractured state obsessed with digital fortification rather than fixing real-world crises. The NCC’s request is the MOST DANGEROUS of all, a direct line into your home and habits. They are building the architecture for a society where your right to be left alone is a commodity sold to the highest bidder. Your silence is their consent—and they are banking on you not knowing the difference.
