PRETORIA - The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) will be holding public hearings from the 01st to 02nd of October 2024, in respect of the Draft End-User and Subscriber Service Charter Amendment Regulations 2024.

The draft amendments deal in the main with the rollover and transfer of service bundles and aim to strike a balance between protecting the consumers of these services and enabling a competitive and dynamic market in this area.

The Chair of the Council Committee, Cllr Lewis notes: “The issues of bundle expiry, rollover and transfer have been contentious in the past. Nonetheless, we look forward to a constructive and productive engagement with both licensees and other stakeholders so that the resultant regulations promote the public interest.”

Oral presentations will be limited to stakeholders who have submitted written comments.

However, interested stakeholders, the media and members of the public are invited to attend the public hearings as follows:
