Reading Time: < 1 minute

The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) has confirmed that it has received a letter from the Democratic Alliance (DA) following new kickback allegations against MultiChoice and the SABC.

A set of board minutes of the SABC dated 6 June 2013 suggesting that MultiChoice sought to pay the SABC R100 million for its 24-hour news channel in exchange for the Public Broadcaster’s political influence over digital migration.

The minutes form part of hundreds of documents provided by the SABC in December 2016 to the Ad Hoc Committee on the SABC Inquiry.

Spokesperson for Icasa, Paseka Maleka says, “Icasa has indeed received a letter from the DA. We are currently looking into the letter and as soon as we reach a position, we will speak once we have considered view on the letter.”
