Dr Keabetswe Modimoeng has been appointed as the acting Icasa chairperson at South Africa's broadcasting regulator from today to replace the fired Rubben Mohlaloga convicted of fraud.
Icasa says that the process to find and appoint a permanent chairperson for South Africa's broadcasting regulator will start soon.
Dr Keabetswe Modimoeng is a member of Icasa's executive board and has an MBA and PhD degrees in management sciences, and is also a Harvard senior executive fellow and has completed both an executive development programme from Wharton University and an Africa director programme from Stellenbosch University.
"We will continue to work closely with all key stakeholders, including government, to ensure that the authority's regulatory decisions advance transformation in the ICT sector, support economic growth and unlock opportunities presented by the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the digital economy," says Keabetswe Modimoeng in an Icasa-issued press statement released on Monday afternoon.
