Summary
Lo Mgaqo-nkqubo oyiNkcazo yoMphathiswa oyiDrafti ujonge ukukhawulezisa ukusasazwa kwe-broadband kuMzantsi Afrika ngokuyalela i-ICASA ukuba iqinise imimiselo yokuqeshisa ngezixhobo kwaye iphuhlise imimiselo emitsha yosasazo olukhawulezayo. Amanyathelo aphambili abandakanya ukuseka indawo yogcino-lwazi oluphakathi lwe-GIS yeziseko zophuhliso, ukukhuthaza ufikelelo oluvulekileyo, ukwenza lula iinkqubo zamaphepha-mvume, kunye nokudala indlela ecwangcisiweyo yokusombulula iingxabano ukuze koyiswe ukulibaziseka kwangoku kunye nokunciphisa iindleko. Injongo ephambili kukufezekisa ufikelelo olubanzi lwe-broadband olufikelelekayo, olunesantya esiphezulu kwilizwe lonke ngokunciphisa uburhoxoki kunye nokukhuthaza usasazo olusebenzayo lweziseko zophuhliso.
UMgaqo-nkqubo oyiNkcazo yoMphathiswa oyiDrafti, okhutshwe liSebe lezoNxibelelwano neTekhnoloji yeDijithali ngomhla we-12 Matshi 2026, ujonge ukukhawulezisa ukusasazwa kweenethiwekhi ze-broadband ezifikelelekayo, ezinesantya esiphezulu kuMzantsi Afrika wonke. Lo mgaqo-nkqubo, okhutshwe phantsi koMthetho wezoNxibelelwano lwe-Elektroniki, wama-2005, ufuna ukoyisa ukulibaziseka okukhulu kunye nokungahambelani ekufumaneni ukufikelela kumhlaba karhulumente nowabucala wokusasaza iziseko zophuhliso. Wakhelwe phezu koMgaqo-nkqubo weSizwe woSasazo oluKhawulezayo lweeNethiwekhi zezoNxibelelwano lwe-Elektroniki kunye neZixhobo, wama-2023, kunye neenjongo ezibanzi zeSicwangciso soPhuhliso lweSizwe, sama-2030, uqaphela i-broadband njengebalulekileyo kuqoqosho lwedijithali nakuluntu.
Umyalelo ophambili ngowokuba iGunyabantu elizimeleyo lezoNxibelelwano loMzantsi Afrika (i-ICASA) liphonononge kwaye liqinise iMimiselo yokuQeshisa ngeZixhobo ekhoyo, yama-2010. Olu phononongo luya kugxila ekusekeni iikhrayitheriya ezicacileyo zokufaneleka kwabanini-layisenisi abafuna ukusebenzisa amalungelo abo phantsi kweSahluko sesi-4 soMthetho, ukuqinisekisa ukuba bangabanini-layisenisi be-ECNS abathobelayo abangenazo ezinye iindlela ezifanelekileyo zokufikelela kwaye banikezele ngeendawo zezixhobo zabo. I-ICASA ikwathwaliswe umthwalo wokuchaza "izixhobo ezibalulekileyo," ukumisela imiqathango yamaxabiso afanelekileyo okufikelela, ukukhuthaza "ufikelelo oluvulekileyo," kunye nokuphucula amaxesha okugqiba izivumelwano. Ngaphezu koko, lo mgaqo-nkqubo ugxininisa ukubeka iliso oluqinileyo, ukunyanzeliswa, kunye nokufakwa okunyanzelisayo kwazo zonke izivumelwano zokuqeshisa kwi-ICASA ukuqinisekisa ukungafihli nto kunye nokuthobela.
Lo mgaqo-nkqubo uyalela i-ICASA ukuba iphuhlise isakhelo seMimiselo emitsha yoSasazo oluKhawulezayo ekhokelwa yimigaqo emininzi ephambili. Umgaqo ophambili kukuthintela ukuphindaphindwa okungafuneki kweziseko zophuhliso, ngakumbi apho iinethiwekhi zesizwe ezibanzi ezikhoyo zinokubonelela ngofikelelo. Ukuququzelela oku, i-ICASA iyalelwe ukuba iseke indawo yogcino-lwazi oluphakathi lweNkqubo yoLwazi lweJografi (i-GIS) yazo zonke iziseko zophuhliso lwezonxibelelwano lwe-elektroniki ezikhoyo nezintsha. Le ndawo yogcino-lwazi, ephuhliswe ngokudibana ne-DCDT, iya kurekhoda indawo kunye nohlobo lweziseko zophuhliso, kunye neeprotocol ezingqongqo zokufikelela, ukhuseleko, kunye nokusebenzisana nezinye iindawo zogcino-lwazi zikarhulumente, ijolise ekudaleni irekhodi lesizwe elibanzi. Abanini-layisenisi baya kunyanzeliswa ukuba banikezele ngolwazi oluchanekileyo noluhlaziywa rhoqo kule ndawo yogcino-lwazi, kunye nezikhuselo zeenzuzo zabo zorhwebo.
Eminye imigaqo yeMimiselo yoSasazo oluKhawulezayo ibandakanya i-ICASA eyabela uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lophando nophuhliso kwiindlela ezintsha zosasazo kunye nokuqwalasela ukufikelela kwiziseko zophuhliso zikarhulumente ezixhaswa ngemali karhulumente njenge "zifanelekileyo" ngeenjongo zosasazo, kunye nezikhokelo eziza kukhutshwa. Ukuququzelela iinkqubo kunye nokuphepha ukuphindaphindwa, abanini-layisenisi banokufuneka bafake izicelo ze-wayleave (okanye izizathu zokungaqeshisi iziseko zophuhliso ezikhoyo) kwi-ICASA. Okubalulekileyo, lo mgaqo-nkqubo uchaza inkqubo ecwangcisiweyo yokusombulula iingxabano ngeengxabano phakathi kwabanini-layisenisi okanye nabanini-mhlaba. Le nkqubo ibandakanya isibhengezo esinyanzelisayo seentsuku ezili-14 ngaphambi komsebenzi, ukumiswa kosasazo ngexesha leengxabano, izibonelelo zembuyekezo yomonakalo kwipropati yabucala, kunye nokudluliselwa kweengxabano ezinzima (njengexabiso lembuyekezo okanye izibheno) kwinkundla enegunya elifanelekileyo.
Lo mgaqo-nkqubo ugxininisa isidingo esingxamisekileyo sokujongana nemingeni yangoku, efana neenkqubo ezahlukeneyo nezihlala zilibaziseka zamaphepha-mvume kamasipala kunye nemirhumo, eyonyusa kakhulu iindleko zabanini-layisenisi kwaye, ekugqibeleni, zabathengi. Ngaphandle kwemizamo yangaphambili efana ne-White Paper ka-2016, uMgaqo-nkqubo weSizwe ka-2023, kunye nokupapashwa komthetho-siseko oqhelekileyo kamasipala, ukwamkelwa okubanzi kunye nokuphunyezwa okusebenzayo kuye kwabakho. Ngokunikezela ngesikhokelo esicacileyo somphathiswa, lo mgaqo-nkqubo ujonge ukuxhobisa i-ICASA ukuba ekugqibeleni iseke isakhelo solawulo oluyimfuneko, kubandakanya indawo yogcino-lwazi ye-GIS ekudala kuxoxwa ngayo, ukunciphisa uburhoxoki, ukunciphisa iindleko zedatha, kunye nokufezekisa ufikelelo olubanzi lwe-broadband olufikelelekayo kuMzantsi Afrika wonke. I-ICASA kufuneka inike ingxelo minyaka le ngenkqubela yayo, kunye nengxelo yokuqala eza kufuneka zingaphelanga iinyanga ezili-12.
