Dear Members,
Earlier in 2009, The Marketing Association SA was one of 17 organisations and individuals who made a submission in terms of ICASA's intention to review the 1999 regulations relating to advertising, infomercials and programme sponsorship. ICASA has issued a notice Number 1659 of 2009
Goverment Gazette 18 December 2009 No. 32826
The conclusion, contained in clause 10.6 reads as follows: As a result of the submissions and comment process - "....... the authority has decided not to amend or repeal the current regulations until the Act has been amended to enhance clarity and certainty".
The Marketing Association SA will thus await this amendment to the Act and subsequent communication from ICASA, and if necessary will again call for comment from our constituent membership base.
If any member has comment or query on this notice, please feel free to contact Chris de Villiers. info@marketingsa.co.za
