(London, Cape Town, 20 October, 2020) ICE Africa Digital’s keynote address will be delivered by Mr Nkoatse Mashamaite, director of gaming law and policy at South Africa’s Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC).
Mashamaite has worked for Dtic since 2009 within its regulatory policy and legislation unit. Serving as a senior manager since 2014, he has had responsibility for developing policy on credit, gambling, liquor and lotteries during his tenure.
