15 years late and 12 ministers later

• The South African Broadcast Digital Migration project is nearly 15 years behind schedule, with its initial deadline of November 2011 having passed.
• The project's delays have been attributed to issues with the distribution of set-top boxes (STBs) required to convert digital signals for older analogue TVs, with 17,627 of 447,815 eligible households still without STBs.
• The current Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, Solly Malatsi, has pushed back three analogue switch-off deadlines, and the project's future remains uncertain with many households still awaiting STB installations.
