Hi

If you are the holder of a VANS licence and have been sleeping under a rock for the last year or so ... note that ICASA requires you to submit information to them by 12h00 on Friday so that you can receive new licences under the Electronic Communications Act

ICASA's notice - http://www.ellipsis.co.za/?p=414

warning: if you don't get to grips with this now you may well end up with no licence at all (=fail, epic)
