Government Communications condemns robbery at INX Prime

The Government Communications and Information Sysytem (GCIS) condemns in the strongest terms the robbery that took place at the studios of INX Prime, in Houghton. INX Prime, broadcasts across sub-Saharan Africa and can be accessed through DStv on channel 345. 

Acting Director General of the GCIS, Michael Currin, said: “The news of the robbery is indeed disturbing. It is particularly disheartening as INX Prime has only been on air for four months, with their broadcast reaching people in sub-Saharan Africa.
