Question NW3999 to the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies
22 December 2023 - NW3999
Tambo, Mr S to ask the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies
Whether the SA Broadcasting Corporation has relinquished its part ownership on videos that were produced during the 1980s in partnership with record companies; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what were the terms of the termination?
Reply:
The Rules Committee took a decision on 4 and 23 November 2022, in respect of questions requesting information prior to 1994, that such questions should take into account the possible non-availability of information before the pre-democratic era (see page 10 of attached ATC).
The SABC has indicated that it is proving difficult to track information dating back to the 1980s.
Thank You.
