The 'Independent Communications Authority of South Africa' (ICASA) is the regulator of telecommunications and the broadcasting sectors. It took over the functions of two previous regulators, the South African Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (SATRA) and the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA).
ICASA derives its mandate from four statutes. These are:
★ The ICASA Act of 2000
★ The Independent Broadcasting Act of 1993
★ The Broadcasting Act of 1999
★ The Telecommunications Authority Act No. 103 of 1996.
And most recently the Electronic Communications Act due to the convergence of technologies
