Briefing the media on Friday, Communications and Digital Technologies Minister Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, said the damage caused to the infrastructure by the floods made it impossible to install set top boxes in some of the province’s areas.
“The destruction of infrastructure such as roads and bridges mean that our installation teams are not able to reach certain communities. Unfortunately, there isn’t much we can do as a department about that. We just have to wait for the infrastructure to be repaired,” she said.Ntshavheni said failure to meet that deadline would have a dire consequence for the country.
“We are eagerly awaiting the ConCourt decision on the analogue switch-off date for us to conclude broadcast digital migration. This will allow us to release spectrum in Gauteng, Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, and Eastern Cape,” Ntshavheni said.
