Government reaffirms commitment to support small community stations

JOHANNESBURG - Government has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting small community broadcast stations, following the disappearance of journalist Asierie Ndlovu.

Deputy Minister in the Presidency Kenny Morolong visited Capital Live SA, a community radio station based in Mamelodi East of Pretoria and founded by Ndlovu.

Morolong was at the station to show support to Ndlouv's colleagues and families, who have been left with lingering questions since he vanished.
Ndlovu and his partner Zodwa Mdhluli were last seen at the station’s parking lot.

Friends, family and colleagues of missing journalist Aserie Ndlovu gathered inside Denlyn Mall, where a small radio booth situated in the middle of the mall played music.

Ndlovu's colleagues are still hard at work trying to keep the station alive.

Morolong promised the small group of workers that government would intervene to keep broadcasting alive.

"Our being here is a demonstration for our support for media freedom."
Morolong also indicated that initiatives are underway to assist the station in continuing efforts to keep his legacy alive.
