Wits University’s Cultural Policy and Management Division provided the required support with the drafting of South Africa's Quadrennial Periodic Report (QPR). This was based on the model developed by UNESCO through their SIDA project to support countries in preparing their QPRs in 12 countries.
The national contact point, which is the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture, invited representatives of government departments, industry associations and civil society to a national meeting held on 17 August 2017. The purpose of this consultative meeting was to inform industry stakeholders of the intention to prepare the 2nd QPR, deliver the QPR Training workshop for a national team and to begin the awareness raising activities for the 2005 Convention with arts and culture representatives from public bodies, academia, the media and civil society.
The 3-day QPR training workshop was held from 20 – 22 September 2017 with a national team made up of representatives from various industry organizations, civil society, academia and government departments. The training followed the UNESCO toolkit on the QPR. The QPR preparation team used information, examples, sources and documents gathered at the workshop as a basis for further research.
The Department of Sport, Arts and Culture, as the lead organization responsible for the activation of the Convention, has adopted a series of strategies, although not all is a direct response to the 2005 Convention. Notably the Mzansi Golden Economy (MGE), which is the most recent strategy to deal with all aspects of the creative and cultural value chain. MGE seeks to establish an enabling environment for the growth and sustainability of cultural industries in South Africa. Over the period of its implementation, this strategy has achieved great success in supporting cultural events, the establishment of the South African Cultural Observatory (SACO) and support for touring ventures nationally and internationally.
It is clear that more advocacy and awareness raising about the 2005 Convention is needed within government, civil society and the private sector but also more broadly in society as a whole. In addition, going forward, the development of projects and programmes inspired by the 2005 Convention needs more consideration. This QPR therefore reports on those areas that most clearly align with the principles and intentions of the 2005 Convention or were informed by the 2005 Convention.
The 2005 Convention informed the Social Cohesion and Nation Building Strategy of the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture. The strategy defines Social Cohesion “as the degree of social integration and inclusion in communities and society at large and the extent to which mutual solidarity finds expression among individuals and communities”. This is further linked to nation formation, in turn understood as a process whereby members of a society from diverse origins, histories, languages, cultures and religions come together within the boundaries of a sovereign national state with a unified constitution and legal dispensation, a national public educational system, a shared economy and shared symbols and values, to work for the eradication of divisions and injustices of the past by fostering unity through the promotion a country-wide consciousness of being proudly South Africa. These precepts are also included in the National Development Plan: Vision 2030 (2011) in the Chapters of the Plan dealing with education, skills development, the role of technology and the call to further transform and unify a society still inflicted with inequalities and divisions inherited from the past.
The broadcasting landscape in post-apartheid SA has changed significantly to support an open and democratic society - we have a three-tier system of broadcasting, comprising public, commercial and community broadcasters. There are 16 licensed television operators delivering television services across more than 170 channels to an audience of around 40.1 million people and over 250 licensed radio stations with a weekly audience of around 33.2 million people. In 2008, SA approved the Digital Migration Policy, which set out parameters of migrating the country's broadcasting from analogue to digital in line with international trends. This policy was amended in 2013 to extend the deadline for the migration and include technical requirements for set-top boxes as a transitional measure to convert the transmitted digital terrestrial television signal to analogue. Digital Terrestrial Television will for the first time bring the many benefits of digital technology to terrestrial TV audiences. This means vastly improved video and audio quality, many more channels and a host of value added services.
In South Africa, the Constitution and society give the media extensive freedoms. In turn, media organisations have a responsibility to use these freedoms responsibly and in accordance with the Constitution. The media has a responsibility to give adequate space to the voiceless and the marginalised, without which informed public discourse is not possible. The media plays a critical role in nation building and building non-racialism and non-sexism. They also play a role in building an informed, educated and critically engaged citizenry and in holding government to account. These are critical for democracy to function. Legislation does support the electronic media in promoting progressive values. However the legislative and policy regime has become outdated and narrow, given changes in technology and media platforms. The broadcasting policy review process (undertaken by the Department of Communications) must ensure that the mandate to build the nation and promote constitutional values is strengthened.
