The Companies & Intellectual Property Registration Office (Cipro) has taken steps to secure its database after the high-profile “hijacking” of black-owned metals firm, Kalahari Resources.

As of Wednesday, South Africans hoping to register a business will have to provide a certified copy of their identity documents to the registration office. The Companies and Intellectual Property Registration Office (Cipro) says all transactions that take place at the office will require company directors to provide their barcoded ID books. Cipro acting CEO Lungile Dukwana says the new process is part of the organisation’s attempt to fight the fraud and corruption that has afflicted the organisation.
