ARLA/CLUSTER: África do Sul altera a estrutura e os custos das licenças de amador a partir de 1 de abril de 2017

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

New fee structure for South African Amateur Radio licences

The new fee structure for Amateur Radio licences has been announced,
by ICASA. The fees for 2017 will come into effect from the 1st April
and are as follows:

. 1 year licence R134.00
. 2 year licence R256.00
. 3 year licence R367.00
. 4 year licence R468.00
. 5 year licence R559.00

Please note, that any licence not renewed by 1 April 2017 will lapse
and the licence holder will have to re-apply for a new licence, and
this will be subjected to extra costs. No fees will be accepted after
the 1st April 2017 ICASA has recommended that Amateur Radio licence
holders apply for a 5 year licence. This equates to a current saving
of R111.00. You will also save the yearly escalations.

You need to apply in writing specifying the licence you wish to apply
for. This must be stated in the subject heading of the relevant email
to ICASA. For example, the required number of years licence, your
seven digit licence number, and call sign. (e.g. 5 year payment,
licence number 544-165-1, ZS6ZU)

If you do not notify ICASA of the required term of licence, you will
receive a one year licence, regardless of the amount paid.

For all those who have already paid using the 2016 fee structure, the
balance outstanding must be submitted to ICASA before the 1st April
2017, otherwise your licence will lapse.

If your surname starts between A to K then you need to email your
payment advice to Mr Kenneth Kgwedi: KKgwedi  icasa.org.za
If your surname starts between L to Z then you need to email your
payment advice to Mr Pieter Jansen: PJansen  icasa.org.za

All Amateur Radio licence fees need to be paid directly to ICASA and
NOT to the SARL.
