Together, we explored the challenges facing public broadcasting and discussed actionable steps towards ensuring that free, accessible, and quality media remains a right for all South Africans. We had insightful conversations with our panelists from Media Monitoring Africa, OUTA, amandla.mobi, and more! The conversation does not stop here!

On Saturday 20 April 2024, hundreds of advocates for children will march from Beyers Naude Square in Marshalltown to Constitution Hill, Braamfontein, Johannesburg, calling on political parties to recognise the importance of ECD in shaping our nation's future.📢 We [Real Reform for ECD] will stop at political houses along the way to handover our #ECDManifesto and ensure that they hear us when we say: a party for the children is a party for the future! This is not a march for just the ECD sector - it is an opportunity for everyone in South Africa to stand up for young children and the future of our country. Caring for young children is one of the most powerful investments South Africa can make. But for too long, the government has neglected young children, and the parents, caregivers and ECD practitioners who nurture them. RSVP here to join the #ECDManifesto March on 20 April 2024: https://lnkd.in/dWVD5bdq
