These values and freedoms included the freedom of the media which is affirmed in the constitutional democratic order that prevails today. Our birthday gift to you, the father of the world, is by pledging to work tirelessly and ensure that all citizens can access information in a language of their choice and contributing to the transformation of media access, ownership and control patterns in South Africa. This will go a long way in giving meaning and content to the celebrations and to our defence for media freedom.
Happy 90th birthday Tata and congratulations. We continue to cherish the ideal of a democratic and free society, in which media owned and controlled by a diversity, will reflect the South African society at large. We look forward to celebrating 100 years with you. Khula ukhokhobe.
