The four-year phrases of 4 councillors at Icasa have ended, although two of the councillors might quickly return to the communications regulator’s decision-making board.
Icasa mentioned on Monday that Yolisa Kedama, Charley Lewis, Peter Zimri and Luthando Mkumatela have made important contributions to the authority and the ICT sector extra broadly.
“The councillors have performed an instrumental position in advancing Icasa’s mandate, championing initiatives which have formed the trajectory of digital connectivity in South Africa,” Icasa mentioned in a press release.
