Hon Deputy Chairperson and the hon member who asked the question, we indeed have received a lot of reports that were mentioning the fact that Independent
Communications Authority of SA, Icasa, is shutting down some radio stations. We undertook a decision to have a meeting between myself and the Minister in the Presidency, Mr Jackson Mthembu, including Icasa, Media Development and Diversity Agency, MDDA, and all the affected bodies to make sure that we can find a solution to the challenges faced by the entities.
Most of them are not tax compliant and others owe Sentech which is the signal distributor. Therefore as we at times put money as government, it is important that we ensure that all those that get funding, actually even those that are licensed even if they are not getting funding from government, they must be compliant in terms of corporate governance and all the other statutes of government that are expected with them to comply with. Thank you, Deputy Chairperson.
