Question NW2380 to the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies
10 November 2022 - NW2380
Majozi, Ms Z to ask the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies
(1) With reference to the Broadcasting Digital Migration, what number of households have applied for set-top boxes through the SA Post Office to date; (2) Whether she has found that her department will meet its targets for the deadline of 30 September 2022; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. About 1, 5 million registrations have been recorded since the commencement of registrations in September 2015 to date.
2. A date of 30 September 2022 is gazetted and remains the deadline for citizens to make application for Government subsidised Set-top box. We have created sufficient awareness around the final registrations date, and the Minister does not intend issuing another gazette to extend the registration deadline.
