Hon Speaker, the ANC welcomes the launch of a new 24- hour channel launched by the SA Broadcasting Corporation, SABC. This long- awaited channel will now add a new voice to the news channels by increasing diversity and giving voices to our citizens. This SABC platform should strengthen the public broadcaster by giving viewers news content that does not only reflect the diverse nature of South Africa and Africa, but also educates and informs viewers.
We are confident that the SABC leadership will make sure that this channel will be made available to the masses of our people. We are optimistic that this channel will be able to cover news across the length and breadth of our motherland and be the voice of the voiceless. Thank you.
