3. Compliance Statement [1] In terms of Section 55 (2) (b) and Section 56 of the Constitution, the National Assembly must provide mechanisms to maintain oversight of any organ of state and may summon/require any institution to report to it. The Department of Communications (DoC) presents its 2015/16- 2019/20 Strategic Plan and 2016/17 Annual Performance Plan (APP) to enable the Portfolio Committee to exercise oversight. This Strategic Plan is in line with the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act,Treasury Regulations and Framework for Strategic Plan and Annual Performance Plan. The Strategic Plan is premised on key government medium-term priorities that are informed by the National Development Plan (NDP) and the Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) which repositions Nation Building and Social Cohesion high on the development agenda of the country. 3

5. Situational Analysis – Key Issues [1] The market for communications, media and content is increasingly becoming competitive. Print Media The print media’s ownership patterns have remained largely untransformed in terms of ownership and management control of the publishing of print media and is still in the hands of a few industry players. In apartheid South Africa state-sponsored dominance of the media was characterised by duopolies in the Afrikaans and English language press and an effective state monopoly in radio and television. The four newspaper groups (Naspers; AVUSA (now Times Media Group); Caxton and Independent Newspapers) also collectively ran the Newspaper Press Union, which controlled all newspaper distribution networks and regulated prices in the newspaper industry. Today the four main media conglomerates – Media24, Avusa (Times Media Group), Caxton and Independent Newspapers remain. These companies own 95% or so of the print media market, with their media properties operating nationally, regionally and locally. The revenue from the sale of advertising pays for the bulk of the costs of newspaper production. Many community and small commercial media argued that lack of mainstream advertising in their newspapers was one of the key issues affecting their sustainability. This therefore has discouraged new entrants into the environment. Government also spends an increasing amount of its budget on advertising of projects and programmes. 5

6. Situational Analysis – Key Issues [2] Broadcasting Today there are more broadcasting services, a plethora of channels, programmes in more languages and more genres than ever before. The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) transformed from a state to a public broadcaster. There are seven licensed private commercial TV operators in South Africa. Both public and commercial broadcasters primarily exist to cater for needs of their audiences and to generate much needed revenue to remain profitable and to continue to deliver shareholder value and public service obligations in the case of the SABC. All licensed broadcasters are required to adhere to their licence conditions as prescribed by the Regulator. There are over 218 licensed community radio stations, which exist in almost every district in the country. Radio is getting the biggest share of adspend in the community media sector although a small amount is still being spent within a print media context. 6

7. Situational Analysis – Key Issues [3] Online Content The development of the Online Content Regulation Policy was borne out of the realisation that content distribution has shifted from physical content distribution to the Internet or digital space. This poses a challenge of access to harmful content by the children. The entry of big players such as Apple, Google and Blackberry in the South African market necessitated the establishment of a temporary regulatory regime to ensure their adherence and compliance to the South African legislative landscape. Community print media The monopoly of the media by major media houses is impacting negatively on the development and diversity of views and the promotion of freedom of expression. Most publications still appear in English and Afrikaans which is not in line with the demographics of the country and the indigenous languages. Mainstream media continues to receive the bulk of advertising revenue. 7
