ISPA Announces New Board Line-Up to Shape South Africa’s Internet Future

Following its recent Annual General Meeting (AGM) and fourth quarter board meeting, ISPA has unveiled its new Board line-up for the next three years.

South Africa’s official internet industry body (IRB) firstly extends its sincere thanks and appreciation to outgoing Board members Cheryl Dinkelmann, Gideon le Grange and André van der Walt. Their tenure as ISPA Board members leaves the internet in South Africa stronger.

ISPA simultaneously congratulates Ntokozo Mbonani and Doreen Mokoena who are joining the ISPA Board for the first time. ISPA looks forward to new ideas and fresh perspectives over the coming term.

Dave Gale, Jerry Maleka and Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi were reelected to further Board terms.

Sasha Booth-Beharilal returns as ISPA chairperson, backed by Enzio von Diest as deputy chairperson.

ISPA recently called for nominations to the ISPA NPC (non-profit company) Board for the three-year term of 2025 up to and including 2027.

The new Board members are elected to serve a three (3) year term. Board members are eligible to serve for a maximum of six (6) consecutive years, and then become ineligible for further reappointment until one (1) year has passed.

ISPA’s counsel and informed advice regarding creating a world-class Information and Communications Technology (ICT) framework for South Africa are taken seriously by the country’s decision-makers. This is largely due to the deep trove of sector knowledge that exists within the ISPA. ISPA’s Board acquires and distills this knowledge through working groups, industry feedback, industry partners and various other entities. With this in mind, ISPA welcomes the 2025 members as they serve as the guiding hand that moves ISPA and the SA internet forward.
