South Africa's parliament will soon fire the criminal and broadcasting regulator chairperson Rubben Mohlaloga who has been found guilty of fraud and money laundering in mid-January in the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crimes Court.
On Tuesday parliament's portfolio committee on communications gave the convicted fraudster who is the chairperson of the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) 5 days to say why he shouldn't be fired.
Rubben Mohlaloga is still being paid a full salary. He is expected to be sentenced on 3 April.
Rubben Mohlaloga joined Icasa council in mid-2013 and was appointed as acting chairperson in 2017. His term expired and he was again appointed as permanent Icasa chairperson in December 2017 and his appointment rubber-stamped by the former president Jacob Zuma.
