The Democratic Alliance’s Solly Malatsi has been announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa as the new Minister of Communications. Lester Kiewit speaks to Michael Markovitz, Head of GIBS Media Leadership Think Tank (and a former SABC board member) about the future of the SABC and the funding of the broadcaster given the DA’s stance on the state broadcaster. The conversation then shifts to Khalik Sherrif, eMedia CEO, on the state of South Africa’s migration to Digital Terrestrial Television, and whether it should be scrapped given the many delays in completing the switchover and advances in broadcasting technology.
