Icasa appoints acting chairperson
The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) has appointed councillor Yolisa Kedama as its acting chairperson from April 4 to September 30, or until a chairperson is appointed.
The appointment is in line with Section 5(2) of the Icasa Act, which states that in the absence of the chairperson, the remaining councillors must elect an acting chairperson who may perform all the functions of the chairperson.
According to Icasa, Kedama, a specialist in the field of radio frequency planning and a researcher in new technologies in the satellite communication environment, joined Icasa as a councillor in 2020.
She holds a Master of Management degree in the field of information and communications technology policy and regulation, a BSc degree and a Certificate in Financial Management.
“The council wishes councillor Kedama well in her new role as the acting chairperson.
The council also extends its gratitude to the outgoing acting chairperson Dr Charley Lewis for providing leadership and stability at the authority and for his role in strengthening Icasa’s relations with its stakeholders and regulatory counterparts, through various domestic and international engagements,” Icasa said in a statement on Monday.
“I have worked with councillor Kedama in a variety of roles and capacities over a number of years. The authority will be in competent and experienced hands as councillor Kedama takes over the leadership role at the helm of the council collegial collective. I look forward to ensuring a smooth leadership transition and to working with her over the next six months,” notes Lewis.
“I look forward to working with council as we continue to fulfil the authority's mandate to regulate the telecommunications, postal and broadcasting sectors in the public interest,” Kedama concludes.
