In another organisational blow for the beleaguered Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment B-BBEE Information and Communications Technology ICT Sector Council, its deputy chair Katharina Pillay has resigned after reports of dysfunction and infighting.
This emerged during a meeting between a government delegation and parliaments portfolio committee on communications and digital technologies on Tuesday afternoon.
It comes as South African-born American billionaire Elon Musk has campaigned to bring his satellite-based service, Starlink, to South Africa but decried B-BBEE policies as racist.
