That the Council -
(1) notes that the Minister of Communications, Minister Dina Pule, will officially switch on the low-power transmitter in Tjakastad in the Mpumalanga province; (2) further notes that the community of Tjakastad has been part of the 3,6 million people in South Africa who do not have access to any SABC television or to any of the SABC FM radio services and that with the switching on of the transmitter today, the community of Tjakastad will be able to watch SABC 1, 2 and 3 and listen to Ligwalagwala FM and other radio stations; and
(3) takes this opportunity to congratulate the Minister of Communications and the SA Broadcasting Corporation for such sterling work and for their dedication to ensure universal service and access to broadcasting services, thereby keeping our people informed and empowered.
