Average score: 2.4 1.0 Broadcasting legislation has been passed and is implemented that provides for a conducive environment for public, commercial and community broadcasting. ANALYSIS: There is legislation on broadcasting, including the Broadcasting Activities Act (number 9 of 92). This act does not provide for the setting up of community radio stations as such, but contains a reference to ‘local radio stations’, which could be interpreted to mean community radio stations. The act is to be revised soon.
