No public internet connections for over a year for over 200 libraries across the Eastern Cape. Bureaucratic neglect and ineptitude. Please share to help hold DSRAC accountable for its promise... https://t.co/F7XTvQ4TA6

@AngeloFick #ParliamentWatch emphasises capacity and resource constraints in covering provincial legislature - @the_eccf what do you think?

[ECCF @the_eccf]

@Right_to_SAM this seems to be a recurring theme. How can state be held accountable if we (CSOs, media etc) do not have the resources??

[ECCF @the_eccf]

Community media needs to go above and beyond the work of commercial media RE reporting on education matters #budget4education : @shepimati
