Members of the Cabinet under the leadership of Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe will meet with Sanef on the 28th and 29th October 2011. This is an annual meeting which takes place as part of Government’s strategic engagement with key stakeholders. Engagements of this kind are vital to our democracy, as they provide an opportunity for Government and key stakeholders to reaffirm their commitment to working together to create a better life for all South Africans.
In August 2011, President Jacob Zuma hosted a summit with media owners as part of the President’s on-going consultations with key sectors of society on various sectoral issues.
The meeting with Sanef, signals government’s commitment to ensuring that both government and the media remain relevant in their robust contributions towards the national developmental agenda in the public discourse.
Government remains committed to media freedom as enshrined in the Constitution. Amongst the key issues that will be discussed is how media can contribute towards building a democratic society and an informed citizenry.
