Icasa has alleged that Vodacom’s interpretation of illegality is based on a misapplication of the regulations.

Ramusi said Vodacom in its founding affidavit admitted to being aware of MTN’s superior network performance “in the latter part of 2022”, meaning the company had from that moment begun to suffer the alleged harm. Regulation 7 of the RFSR requires public participation before any approvals are made by Icasa. This regulation is the basis of Vodacom’s argument that Icasa approved the spectrum agreements in “secret”. Mothibi said regulation 7 does not apply as it deals with situations where there is insufficient spectrum to meet demand. “Respectfully, that is not the issue here,” he said.
