ICASA is the independent regulator for South Africa's telecommunications, broadcasting, and postal services sectors. It was established by the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa Act of 2000, as amended. Based in Centurion, Gauteng, the authority is a mid-sized regulatory body with hundreds of staff. Its mandate centers on regulatory oversight and policy implementation across the sectors, engaging with industry participants such as telecom operators, broadcasters, and postal service providers. A notable recent development is ICASA's January 2026 launch of a comprehensive cybersecurity framework to strengthen protection of business communications. In February 2025 the regulator appointed new board members, including Karabo Mohale, Charley Lewis, Joshua Maumela and Andrew Matseke.
