South Africa: Icasa Unites Regulators To Streamline Digital Transformation

October 14, 2024
Reading Time: 2 mins read
A A

South Africa has recently introduced the Information, Communication Technologies and Media Regulators Forum, a collaborative platform that brings together four major regulatory bodies in the ICT and media sectors.

The forum comprises the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA), the Information Regulator, the Domain Name Authority (ZADNA), and the Film and Publication Board (FPB).

Its primary objective is to streamline regulation across these sectors by enhancing cooperation, reducing duplication of efforts, and addressing the challenges posed by the rapidly evolving digital landscape.

This initiative comes in response to concerns about the fragmented nature of ICT regulation in South Africa, which has historically struggled with regulatory overlap and coordination issues.

Tshiamo Maluleka-Disemelo, CEO of ICASA, will chair the forum. She emphasised the importance of collaboration in the face of the increasing convergence of technology and media, particularly in data privacy, cybersecurity, and online safety.

The forum’s key objectives include fostering synergy between the entities, addressing regulatory redundancies, and ensuring a more efficient, responsive framework for managing ICT and media regulations. ZADNA highlighted the forum’s vision for creating a safer and more inclusive digital environment, emphasising the need for collaboration to tackle issues like child safety online and the protection of consumers from harmful content.

Establishing this forum marks a significant step forward in consolidating regulatory efforts. The participating bodies noted in a joint statement that the forum will help ensure that South Africa remains at the forefront of digital regulation, capable of navigating the complexities of the modern digital age.

The forum aims to expand its membership, inviting other regulatory entities in the digital economy to join and participate in shaping the future of ICT and media regulation. It is expected to play a critical role as South Africa embraces technological innovations and strives to meet global regulatory standards.
