Temporary radio frequency spectrum licences and short-term broadcasting authorisations from ICASA.
- Temporary Radio Frequency Spectrum Licence (ICASA) in South Africa
Using radio spectrum in South Africa — two-way radios at an event, a temporary broadcast, wireless links for a production, or test transmissions — requires a licence from ICASA under the Electronic Communications Act 36 of 2005. Unlicensed transmission can lead to equipment seizure and fines.

A temporary or special-event broadcasting licence from ICASA lets you run a radio service for a short period — a religious festival, sports event, university open week or community campaign — without holding a full community broadcasting licence.
