Wikileaks - Department of Communications thwarted independence at ICASA

Under the late Ivy Matsepe-Casaburri the Department of Communications hampered SA telecoms, and leadership shortfalls have hurt the sector, say leaked diplomatic cables

Siphiwe Nyanda was eventually axed as communications minister in October 2011 amid allegations of tender irregularities and a heated battle with his former director-general Mamodupi Mohlala.

Bit of an oopsie there.

This article just confirms what we all know - the ANC isn't good for this county.

And we need wiki leaks for what we know?

[Garyvdh]

More startling revelations of everyday common knowledge!

[Mike Hoxbig]

Yay, something else we already knew that has now been leaked

No doubt. At least they're gone for good. We need to do the same to the ANC.17 years of this bullcrap is enough.I had such high hopes for COPE...

Just goes to show how our so called telecommunications sector of government has, and continues, to cripple our economy.

Keeping us in this vacuum leads to less opportunities for advancement and education which ultimately provides more uneducated and uninformed masses to keep voting for the ANC. This is so disheartening

This info is public knowledge. It doesn't qualify to be in the category of leaked information.

All of the above.

Interesting, wonder if he knows his first deliverable is looming in November 2011 (2-3 months) .. LLU has been very quiet .. not that I believe that LLU is a silver bullet, just be interesting to see if he can deliver on his promises.
