The Authority notes that there were requests from some interested stakeholders for ICASA to consider deferring the public hearings to a later date. After careful consideration, the Authority has taken a decision to and hereby wishes to notify interested parties that the public hearings shall continue as set out in the notice.
However, in light of the current circumstances relating to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Authority is of the view that it is therefore duty-bound to ensure that both the Authority’s staff and external stakeholders are protected in that regard.
