On Monday 18 June the South African Communications Forum (SACF) met with the ruling ANC party’s Working Group on Communications to discuss the implications for industry of the ICT Policy Document to be tabled at this week’s ANC Policy Conference.
A SACF statement reads: Chairperson of the SACF, Lucky Masilela, noted that the content of the discussions will not be disclosed beyond the SACF membership, however he was greatly heartened by the ANC’s willingness to engage in dialogue and to provide the ICT Industry with a platform for discussion.
Masilela noted that SACF generally supports the ANC Communications Policy Discussion Document. SACF believes that the policy positions contained therein will contribute significantly to achieving universal access and services and thus improving the lives of all South Africans. The ANC and SACF will structure more engagement after the Policy Conference to discuss the pressing and urgent issues effecting the industry.
