Changes at ICASA
The ICASA General Manager Engineering and Technology has resigned and left ICASA on 31 December 2011.
Dumisa Ngwenya chaired the ICASA - SARL Liaison Committee. There is no indication of who will be acting in this position until a new person is appointed. A new appointment is long process as the post has to be advertised.
In anticipation of his resignation the South African Radio League (SARL) lodged, in mid December, an Appeal to the Chief Executive Officer of ICASA, Themba Dlamini, to investigate the long delay in the publication of the corrections to the regulations which became effective on 1 April 2011.
To date the SARL has not received a response other than that the legal department are reviewing the corrections. The SARL requested the CEO to separate the Amateur regulations from the rest of the corrections as they seem to be delaying the process.
The SARL has also requested a meeting with the CEO.
