Government has launched a programme aimed at encouraging active citizenry. Citizen’s Connect will be broadcast on SABC 2 from January 18 at 8.30pm.
A brand-new show is set to educate, inspire and connect with South Africans about issues that affect their daily lives. The Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) is set to launch a 13-episode Advertiser Funded Programme (AFP) called Citizens Connect, to be broadcast on SABC 2, from today, Thursday January 18, at 8.30 pm.
“This collaboration with SABC 2 is a testament to government’s commitment to reach a diverse audience and deliver impactful content,” said the GCIS in a statement.
Citizens Connect is a social reality programme featuring government content, re-enactments and discussions on matters relating to gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF), anti-corruption and Government’s Economic Recovery and Reconstruction Plan (ERRP).
GCIS acting director-general Nomonde Mnukwa said called on all South Africans to tune in to SABC 2 from Thursday January 18 to March 22 at 8:30 pm, to follow and engage in the 13 episodes of Citizens Connect which will touch on various interventions and experiences of citizens with government on issues that are essential to their lives.
“Through storytelling and engaging content, we aspire to inspire a collective shift towards an informed and engaged society,” said Ms Mnukwa.
