The focus of the CPA is to protect consumers. As such the CPA is arguably the most wide-ranging piece of legislation to have been enacted in South Africa. Purchases of goods or services, whether or not on credit, are included in the purview of the CPA and it is worth noting that while the National Credit Act strictly regulates the provision of credit, the CPA still applies to the sale or related transaction underlying the credit agreement. It also has an impact on the way manufacturers, suppliers and retailers do business. However the Act may have unforeseen consequences.
