The council of the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) has announced the departure of Pakamile Pongwana as its CEO.

In a statement issued this evening, the telecoms regulator "notifies all stakeholders and the media of its mutual separation with the chief executive officer, Mr. Pakamile Pongwana".

Pongwana's exit from ICASA follows his precautionary suspension pending an internal disciplinary process.

ICASA COO Willington Ngwepe will continue serving as the acting CEO until such time a permanent CEO is employed, says the statement.

The council wishes Pongwana well in his future endeavours, it adds.

Before joining ICASA in 2013, Pongwana was managing executive for regulatory affairs at Vodacom since 2005.

He previously served as deputy director general for telecommunications policy for the Department of Communications
