Namibia of these negotiations is not known. Concern was raised that there is no independent radio news service that collects local news for commercial radio stations.

ANALYSIS: There are no regulations with regard to cross-media ownership and no legislation to prevent possible monopolisation in future. A Competition Act is still being drafted and the Communications Act is not specific, as is the case in South Africa where the law limits the number of radio or television stations that one individual or company is allowed to own. Recent developments, particularly in terms of ownership patterns in the media, show worrying signs of big business “extending its tentacles” into the media. This is evident by South African media giant News24 buying into DMH, and by the growing involvement in the media of Trustco, originally a legal insurance company that now has multiple business interests, as well as a popular and powerful weekly newspaper (Informanté) and a printing press shared with The Namibian.
