What do the technical people do now?
As a holder of the certificate from SAPO enabling me to "maintain radio equipment on which the lives of persons on the sea or in the air depend", achieved by doing a 4 year apprenticeship and writing a trade test, and subsequently doing Higher Engineering Diploma in Electronics (4 years) and still activly involved in modern communications systems. I have been trying in vain to find out from ICASA and their partners in crime SARL what my status is as I own and use a number of radio receivers covering from Khz to Ghz, this is my profession not an amateur hobby. The legislation has apparently left out the people who are required to repair these “illegally“ used radios 
fix but don't listen to it 
LOL
