WASPA

General

We adhere to all relevant spam policies. We encourage our clients to do the same. We do not condone the distribution of unsolicited messaging, notifications or alerts.

The WASPA - Do Not Contact System became mandatory for all WASPA members at the Annual General Meeting held in Johannesburg on 5th March 2020.

This means that members sending direct marketing to numbers on this list are in breach of the following clause of the WASPA Code of Conduct:

"16.5. Unless the target person has expressly or implicitly requested or agreed otherwise, any member authorising, directing or conducting any direct marketing must not direct or permit any person associated with that activity to direct or deliver any communication for the purpose of direct marketing to:

(c) a person who has registered a pre-emptive block with a registry established by WASPA."

Your options

  1. Inform us of the unsolicited message, and keep your number unblocked.
  2. Inform us of the unsolicited message, and we have your number blocked against all outgoing messages in our own global block-list.
  3. Head over to the DNC's Website and add your mobile number to the WASPA’s Do Not Contact list. It is customary practice for all numbers on this list to be excluded from direct marketing campaigns.
