May 2015 June 2015 viewing a transmission site in Hwange revealed that the country was facing challenges in acquiring digital broadcasting monitoring equipment as an unnamed country in the European Union had refused to sell the equipment to Zimbabwe. He said the country had since sought an alternative. He also announced the importation of equipment worth US$3million for the process through Huawei International, who he said have targeted mid-2016 for the completion of the digital migration process for the country. Charamba’s statement on the set date for completion presented inconsistencies in the actual date that Zimbabwe is expected to have fully migrated to digital television broadcasting. Furthermore, the lack of transparency on which country exactly was unwilling to supply the monitoring equipment was of concern. On 24 May 2015, Broadcasting signal carrier, Transmedia, receives digital equipment which includes antenna systems and transmitters to be installed at six new transmission sites. Transmedia Chief Executive officer, Florence Sigudu notes that the digitisation process began in 2011, and the country would meet the ITU requirement of non-interference with other country’s transmission signals by June 17. There is still no clear detail on where the new sites will be situated The Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation on 9 June 2015 reported that engineers were working ‘flat out’ to ensure that the country’s digitisation becomes a reality. This followed the beginning of the installation of the satellite which will carry signal to transmitters across the country. BAZ technical Manager Mathias Chakanyuka said 48 transmitters have been erected across the country.
