SENTECH is South Africa’s premier provider of electronic communications network services in the broadcasting and communications industry. SENTECH was established as a technical division of the SABC, responsible for the corporation’s signal distribution services. In 1992, the division was corporatised as SENTECH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the corporation. In 1996, the SENTECH Act (No. 63 of 1996) was amended, converting SENTECH into a separate public entity, responsible for providing broadcasting signal distribution services as a common carrier to licensed television and radio broadcasters. The Company is wholly owned by the Government of the Republic of South Africa and the Shareholder Representative is the Minister of Telecommunications and Postal Services. SENTECH provides broadcast transmission services to SABC’s radio and television stations, eTV, MNet, and over 150 community radio stations country- wide. Its infrastructure and data communications platforms also provide services to South Africa’s telecommunication sector and mobile providers.
