The Independent Communications Authority of SA (Icasa) is expected to rule on Tuesday, on a complaint submitted by the Democratic Alliance (DA) against the SABC’s decision to remove the party’s election advertisement.
The DA submitted its application to Icasa on Saturday.
The party says Icasa has requested it to present oral arguments on Tuesday morning.
Chairperson of the DA’s Federal Executive, James Selfe, says they have acceded to Icasa’s request, but will not accept further delays.
The SABC claims the advert may incite violence, and has invited the DA to submit an amended version.
The ruling on the matter was expected to be handed down on Monday afternoon.
ICASA should have replied to our complaint today, but we'll accede to the request to hear the matter tomorrow – @JAMESSELFE3 #Ayisafani
