Speaking during Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Communication and Digital Technologies oversight visit to the Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) in Pretoria, Morolong encouraged the GCIS to form strategic partnerships to better inform South Africans about government initiatives.
Morolong emphasised the need for professional capacity-building in government communication and adapting to new media platforms to bridge the gap between government and citizens.
He described communication as a constitutional responsibility, essential for upholding political, social, and other rights.
He stressed that a coordinated approach allows the government to respond proactively to political and socio-economic challenges, building public confidence and national unity.
She highlighted that these discussions provide lawmakers with valuable insights into the needs of citizens and help shape government oversight.
Diko underscored the importance of public access to information about job opportunities, entrepreneurship, and government services, stating that informed citizens are better equipped to improve their lives.
The agency continues to evolve, leveraging new media and innovative strategies to enhance public communication.
As part of this initiative, the committee has reviewed presentations from the Media Development and Diversity Agency (MDDA) and other organisations to evaluate their role in disseminating essential information to the public.
