Sentencing day for Icasa chair over fraud

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Chairperson of communications regulator Icasa, Rubben Mohlaloga, will be sentenced on Tuesday morning in the Specialised Crimes Court in Pretoria.

This follows fraud and money laundering convictions in January.

Mohlaloga‚ along with five others‚ were accused of defrauding the Land Bank of about R6 million.

This happened at a time when Mohlaloga was chairperson of Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Agriculture.

The Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Communications recently decided to remove Mohlaloga as Icasa Board chairperson.

The committee said the Icasa Act prohibits anyone convicted of fraud from serving as a councillor of the communications industry regulator.
