ICASA Councillor’s Appointment is ‘Invalid’
The future of Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) councillor, William Stucke, hangs in the balance after two legal opinions found that his appointment as a councillor of the telecoms and broadcasting regulator is invalid.
Section 6 of the ICASA Act says a person who has financial interests in the communications sector may not be appointed as councillor.
Stucke, who declared his interests in Internet service provider Qpop last year when he was interviewed for the job, was appointed by Communications Minister Siphiwe Nyanda following a recommendation by Parliament’s portfolio committee on communications.
