Question NW595 to the Minister of Communications, Telecommunications and Postal Services
18 April 2019 - NW595
Van Dyk, Ms V to ask the Minister of Communications, Telecommunications and Postal Services
By what date is it envisaged that the investigation into the Media Development and Diversity Agency will commence as proposed and agreed to by the Portfolio Committee on Communications?
Reply:
I have been advised by the Department as follows:
The investigations into the Media Development and Diversity Agency (MDDA) were confirmed by the Portfolio Committee on Communications during the oversight visit to the Agency on 2 May 2018. It is the understanding of the Department that the investigations were going to be conducted by the PCC, not by the Department. Consequently, the Department does not envisage to conduct investigations at MDDA.
