JOHANNESBURG - Communications and Digital Technologies Minister Khumbudzo Ntshavheni has set a new deadline of 30 September this year, for qualifying South Africans to register for government-subsidis
ed set-top boxes ahead of the conclusion of the country’s analogue to digital migration.
This comes on the back of a case brought by free-to-air broadcaster e.TV, which had argued in court that millions of South Africans who still hadn’t registered would be left high and dry otherwise. The minister on Thursday afternoon briefed members of the media on the measures currently underway to give effect to the ruling.
