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. It is vital that we have such platforms to tell the African story.”
