Question NW631 to the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies
22 March 2024 - NW631
Mazzone, Ms NW to ask the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies
What steps has his department taken to ensure that the SA Broadcasting Corporation has sufficient funding available for the upcoming 2024 national and provincial elections until a new funding model can be developed?
Reply:
I have been informed by the SABC as follows:
The Department has facilitated a government allocated budget of R 35-million for both the editorial and technical requirements, including studio facilities and transmission costs.
The IEC is also supporting the SABC through trade exchange agreements to cater for key marketing and infrastructural elements at the Provincial and National Elections Results Operations Centres.
