In 2024 JPS discovered a security incident involving unauthorised access to its system by a former employee and Data Protection Officer under the Protection of Personal Information Act 2013 (“POPIA”), resulting in a potential breach of sensitive information of JPS.
JPS takes data protection very seriously and once JPS became aware of the breach, JPS took immediate action to contain and investigate the incident.
A Decade of existence is no mean feat in the business world but for a NPO makes it even more special.
This is exactly what the celebrations was all about on the 15th of October at The Westin Hotel in Cape Town. JPS Africa celebrated our 10-year anniversary with the proverbial bang along with a rebrand as a night of glitz and glam blossomed in the Schappen Island room at The Westin Hotel.

Initiatives
Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision [VMMC]
The World Health Organization (WHO), in conjunction with UNAIDS, recommended Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) as an HIV prevention strategy. This is based on scientific evidence that circumcision reduces the risk of contracting HIV and STIs, and protects women from cervical cancer.
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) interferes with the body’s ability to fight diseases and infections, and leads to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS); which is when the immune system is so compromised that it is unable to fight off most infections and diseases.
Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) Tuberculosis (TB) is a severe form of TB, where the bacteria are resistant to multiple antibiotic drugs which makes it difficult, but not impossible, to treat.
