New super-regulator for communications and Internet in South Africa

The Department of Communications and Digital Technologies has embarked on a process to merge some of its entities in line with the state-owned enterprises (SOE’s) rationalisation plan.

These mergers are in line with last year’s State of the Nation Address by the President, committing the government to undertake a process of rationalisation of SOEs, in an effort to ensure that they serve strategic economic or developmental purposes.

So the SUPER-regulator will regulate the regulator.
Eventually, we will get a SUPER-DUPER-regulator that will regulate the SUPER-regulator.

“The Universal Service and Access Agency of South Africa will be repurposed to establish a state-owned digital fund company,” the Ministry of Communications and Digital Technologies said on Tuesday.

How would that be any different from what USAASA currently is, a slush fund for corruption, including Stella's husband who has been reported recently to have had his fingers in the USAASA cookie jar?

 

[ConfusedR]

Nobody wants to be held accountable and now they want a SUPER-regulator........hahahahahaha
I see this in meetings as well when BBBEE managers are involved. Nobody wants to take accountability but they just love the job title.

The performance agreement with the President is legally binding and will be used for measuring the success of the department. Targets in the agreement include the following:

• Completion of decoder rollout and switching-off analogue transmitters for the Broadcasting Digital Migration project by 2021, and rearranging of spectrum radio frequencies.
