The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) has extended its condolences to former CEO Pakamile Pongwana’s family, former colleagues and friends following his passing.

Pongwana was at the helm of Icasa from 2013 to 2017, where he contributed immensely to the work and performance of the authority.

He is widely regarded as one of the industry veterans and a key architect of the information and communication technology sector since the dawn of the democracy.

“When joining Icasa as CEO, Pongwana arrived at a time when the authority’s performance was at a low ebb, but his interventions set the authority on course to reach over 70% performance in his first year at the helm. His legacy of instilling a high-performance culture within Icasa has continued to this day, with the authority continuing to perform at an average of 80% and above year-on-year,” the authority said in a statement.
