Common Questions in Cape Town
- How does load shedding affect email marketing strategy in Cape Town?
- Load shedding creates predictable patterns in South African email engagement — open rates drop during Stage 4+ load shedding periods when mobile network congestion increases. We recommend send timing that avoids the 06:00-08:00 and 18:00-20:00 windows most commonly affected by Stage 4+ load shedding.
- What does POPIA require for email marketing consent in South Africa?
- POPIA requires that consent for marketing communications be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous — pre-ticked checkboxes don't qualify. Consent records must be stored with timestamps and the specific consent language that was presented. The consent must be as easy to withdraw as it was to give.
