The specialised commercial crimes court in February sentenced Mohlaloga to 20 years in jail for defrauding the Land Bank of R6 million.

Parliament’s portfolio committee on communications wants convicted fraudster and chairperson of the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa, Manyaba Ruben Mohlaloga, to be fired immediately.

”Having deliberated on the issue of the chairperson of Icasa, the committee has once more emphasised that he should be removed as a chairperson and also removed as council member of Icasa, as it is in the Act of Icasa that a person who is found guilty cannot hold the position of a councillor,” Mkhize said in a statement.

Mohlaloga, who was then an African National Congress legislator and chairperson of parliament’s portfolio committee on agriculture, was found guilty of conspiring with then Land Bank CEO Philemon Radichaba Mohlahlane and Dinga Rammy Nkhwashu of law firm Masepula Dinga Attorneys to transfer R6 million into the law firm’s trust account from the bank in 2008.
