tered into force on 31 December 2014, while the approval of the regulations of the Law took place on 13 October 2015, in terms of Decree No. 35/2015, of December 31, day on which it entered into force. Although the regulation proposed by the government is an instrument for the implementation of the RIL, in general terms it has gaps and is not very clear. Civil society organisations held public debates on the proposed regulation of the Right to Information Law, prepared by the government. These discussions led to the improvement of 35 articles, with the inclusion of elements that will make it easy for citizens to use of the law. Years later, radio and television media evolved considerably. New community, commercial and public radio and television expanded rapidly throughout the country, thanks to the Press Law and a favourable political environment. The expansion has created new realities and challenges, which are totally different from the situation in 1991, when the Press Law was passed. In this context, there was need for a new legal framework to regulate the radio and television sector and meet the challenges of today’s media industry. The IREX Programme for the Strengthening of the Media, with the support of organisations such as Sekelekani, the Bar Association of Mozambique, the Association of Women in the Media (AMCS), IBIS, Centre for Interdisciplinary and Media Studies (CEC), Institute for Governance and Development Support (GDI) and the SAVANA newspaper promoted these debate, reflection and amendments to the regulation of the RIL.

After conclusion of the discussions and improvements of the proposed regulation of the RIL, the government incorporated the suggestions of the organisations involved and published the final version (as amended) of the proposed regulation of the RIL. Having already approved the law, its regulatory instrument now faithfully corresponds the soul and spirit of the law. After a long delay, in April 2009 GABINFO emerged with the document entitled “Preliminary Document of the Restricted Group on the Development of Terms of Reference for the Radio and Television Law”, whose content encompasses most of the principles and policies defined by African institutions, namely: (i) strengthening and deepening of the democratic process; (II) the protection and promotion of national culture, in response to cultural globalisation; (III) consumer protection; (IV) the national economic development and the protection of the broadcasting sector. Broadcasting Law The current Press Law 18/91, of 10 August, in force since the date of its adoption, was designed to regulate the print media because the big concern was the press that dominated the Mozambican 46 media landscape and does not include the broadcasting sector, as it was then still not much developed. So This is Democracy? 2015 The document proposes that legislation
