Ministry of Communications’ response to inaccurate media reports about Broadcasting Digital Migration Policy
The Ministry of Communications is very concerned about the misinformation and innuendos peddled in the media, some of which are unfortunately attributed to Dr Blade Nzimande, a member of Cabinet.
To either expressly or by implication allege that Minister Muthambi has gone against the ANC policy on Digital Migration Amendments is patently untrue. Furthermore it is disingenuous and a veiled attack on the integrity of Minister Muthambi to seek to suggest that the Minister may have been successfully lobbied by any group of interested parties.
The truth of the matter is that the Minister of Communications has been defending a Broadcasting Digital Migration Policy and amendments which were approved by the Cabinet.
