NOTICE OF DETERMINATION OF LAPSING OF BROADCASTING SERVICE LICENCE IN TERMS OF REGULATION 12 (4) OF THE REGULATIONS REGARDING LICENCE CONDITIONS FOR BROADCASTING SERVICE LICENCES

The Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia, in terms of regulation 12 (4) of the Regulations regarding Licence Conditions for Broadcasting Service Licences as published in Government Gazette No, 5037, General Notice No. 309 dated 13 September 2012, herewith gives notice that the Broadcasting Service Licence issued in terms of section 85 of the Communications Act (No. 8 of 2009) to Kalahari Holdings (Pty) Ltd on 18 November 2011 has lapsed.

THE FOLLOWING ARE THE REASONS FOR THE DECISION:

Kalahari Holdings (Pty) Limited (hereinafter referred to as 'Kalahari Holdings') was issued with a commercial broadcasting service licence by the former Namibia Communications Commission ('NCC'). Kalahari Holdings was transitioned to the new market structure on 18 November 2011, pursuant to the provisions of section 135(2) of the Communications Act 8 of 2009 (hereinafter referred to as the 'Communications Act'), as published in the Government Gazette No. 4839, General Notice No. 393, dated 25 November 2011.

The said licence was awarded subject to the Regulations Regarding Licence Conditions for Broadcasting Service Licences ('Broadcasting Service Licence Conditions'), as published in the Government Gazette No. 5037, General Notice No. 309, dated 13 September 2012. Kalahari Holdings did not commence with any commercial broadcasting activities as per the conditions attached to the licence.

In terms of section 87(7) of the Communications Act, a licence lapses after the expiry of such period which may be prescribed in regulation 12(4) of the Broadcasting Service Licence Conditions in the event that no broadcasts are made under that licence. The Authority is of the view that the words in regulation 12(4) are peremptory, which means that the legislature intended to cast an obligation on a licensee to comply with what is required by the section 87(7) of the Communications Act or regulation 12(4) of the Broadcasting Service Licence Conditions, and failure to comply with which, the licence would automatically lapse.

The period as contemplated in section 87(7) of the Communications Act is prescribed in the Broadcasting Service Licence Conditions Regulations, which provides as follows in regulation 12(4):

'In terms of section 87(7) of the Act, in the event licensees fail to commence broadcasting services within a period of six (6) months from the date of issue of the licence, such licence shall automatically expire at the end of the six (6) month period , without the Authority having to give notice to the licensee, unless as otherwise approved by the Authority in advance .' (Our emphasis) The Broadcasting Service Licence Conditions only came into force on 13 September 2012. At the time of awarding the licence to Kalahari Holdings (25 November 2011), there were no conditions prescribing the period as contemplated in section 87(7) of the Communications Act. This therefore means, the 6 months period within which Kalahari Holdings was supposed to commence with broadcasting services, should be calculated from 13 September 2012. The Authority is of the view that this is a fair approach, because Kalahari Holdings could not have been expected to comply with a time period that they were not aware of on date of award of licence.

As indicated above, Kalahari Holdings was issued with a broadcasting service licence on 25 November 2011. As per section 87(7) of the Communications Act, Kalahari Holdings was required to commence with commercial broadcasting activities within 6 months from date on which the licence was issued.

COMMUNICATIONS REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF NAMIBIA

Please note however, that the Broadcasting Service Licence Conditions only came into force on 13 September 2012. At the time of receiving the licence, there were no conditions prescribing the period as contemplated in section 87(7) of the Communications Act. This therefore means, the 6 months period within which Kalahari Holdings was required to commence with the provision of commercial broadcasting services in terms of section 87(7) of the Communications Act, should be calculated from 13 September 2012, when the Broadcasting Service Licence Conditions came into effect.

On 11 March 2014, the Authority drafted a letter to Kalahari Holdings to inquire on the status of the operations of the commercial broadcasting service station and for Kalahari Holdings to provide the Authority with an update thereof. In the letter of 11 March 2014, the Authority also requested that Kalahari Holdings provides the Authority with its annual financial statements for the year 2012/2013 for the Authority to determine whether Kalahari Holdings has commenced with commercial broadcasting services as required by the Broadcasting Service Licence Conditions.

On 11 March 2014, Kalahari Holdings indicated to that they did not launch the broadcasting service station yet, and as a result, Kalahari Holdings is unable to provide the Authority with any financial statements regarding its operations.

On 26 March 2014, the Authority requested Kalahari Holdings to state the reasons why it did not commence with broadcasting services in terms of the licence issued and to furnish the Authority with a detailed explanation of the non-compliance with the Broadcasting Service Licence Conditions. The Authority further requested Kalahari Holdings to indicate the measures that Kalahari Holdings intends to take in this regard.

On 30 July 2014, Kalahari Holdings informed the Authority why they did not commence with commercial activities by setting out the reasons contained therein.

CONCLUSION

In light of the above and pursuant to the provisions of of section 87(7) of the Communications Act read with regulation 12(4) of the Broadcasting Service Licence Conditions and the submissions made above, the commercial broadcasting service licence issued to Kalahari Holdings (Pty) Ltd as published in the Government Gazette No. 4839, General Notice No. 393, dated 25 November 2011 has automatically lapsed on 12 March 2013. This is due to the fact that Kalahari Holdings (Pty) Ltd has not commenced with commercial broadcasting activities within a period of six months from date of issuance of the Broadcasting Service Licence Conditions, date being 13 September 2012.

The full reasons for the decision can be obtained from the Authority.
