South Africa cancels 2,100 ham radio licences

South Africa's ICASA has cancelled 2,100 Amateur Radio licenses,
believed to be more than 1/3rd of the total, for non-payment of
licence fees

SARL News reports:

At the quarterly SARL/ICASA Liaison meeting held this week, ICASA
confirmed that 2 100 amateur radio licenses were cancelled for
non-payment of licence fees. Over the past few months, the League has
reminded radio amateurs in news bulletins, newsflashes and on the web
to ensure that their license payment are up to date. In December, last
year the League sent e-mails to members who were in arrears and whose
licenses were about to be cancelled. This week another 143 members
were e-mailed again.

ICASA sends invoices at the beginning of each year but many do not
reach their destination, often caused by licensees not updating their
addresses. The regulations are clear that the responsibility to pay
the annual fee is on the licensee and that ICASA is under no
obligation to take responsibility for non-delivery of invoices.

To check if you license was cancelled call the League Office on 011
675 2393 between 09:00 and 12:00. If your licence was cancelled and
you did make payment, please send copies of the payment to
DKuhrau  icasa.org.za. If ICASA was at fault, they will reinstate the
license. In all other cases, radio amateurs will have to reapply for a
license.
