Is signal jamming allowed in SA?

The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa has weighed in on the state of the nation address signal jamming controversy.

Oh ok, so initially NO organisation may use one..

But now after the ANC have used one, then "maybe" its ok if its a specific department.....

So at the end of the day if it is a matter of national security a cell jammer can be used by the South Africa’s State Security Cluster .
"The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa said on 13 February 2015 that South Africa’s State Security Cluster may, in certain instances, employ signal jammers."

Which is reasonable , but not in the instance it was used in parliament .
This will be interesting when State Security minister David Mahlobo explains why they used a jammer in parliament .
