Telecommunictaion forum to govern industry

The forum's spokesperson, Ivor van Rensburg, says there is a huge interest from key telecommunications and communications suppliers: "We urge every telecommunications and communications service provider to join the forum. By doing so, it will ensure we have the necessary support to approach government and other authorities to assist in establishing a code of ethics that will ultimately govern the industry."

Corruption will be exposed

SACSF will provide a platform for communications suppliers to share information and expose vendors who are exploiting local businesses. By joining forces to address these growing concerns, the Forum will address supplier-vendor issues.

More importantly, SACSF will promote good business practice throughout the industry, it will work in close cooperation with the media to publish unethical business practices and corruption within the industry. One of its aims is to influence Government decisions and legislation concerning communications.

"Our primary objective is to create a sound business environment, SACSF will provide a list of credible vendors and suppliers and also blacklist unethical businesses that do not adhere to the Forum's code of ethics," says van Rensburg.
