The Right to Know said it is
concerned about the risk the Ministry of Communications will be used to further
weaken the regulatory capacity of the Independent Communications Authority of
South Africa.
Right2Know National Spokesperson
Murray Hunter said both the minister of Communications and the minister of
Telecommunications and Postal Services needs to commit to upholding and
advancing our right to communicate, to receive and impart information and
opinions.
Hunter said it is very concerning
that the SABC is
going to come out in increasing pressure to promote government’s view of giving
voice to the ground.
He added that in the broader sense
there would less independent and less freedom of expression from the government
policy.
