Within the media and communication strategy being put in place, SABC, as public broadcaster and other media including radio, print and electronic media in South Africa, on the African continent and throughout the Diaspora, can play an important role in relaying and disseminating information about the Conference and Sudan.
Advocate Ras Sipho Mantula is a young pan-African leader of Global African Congress (GAC), and one highly-regarded cultural activist and radio presenter in South Africa. His experience, professionalism and dedication to the African Cause - including the cause of the Sudan - will be a valuable asset for media and communication.
The Sudan TV, the Southern Sudan TV, El Shuruk TV, SABC, ETV, as well as other major media centres such as the VOA, Al Jazeera-lnternational, BBC-Africa service and international and regional TV and radio networks (SA FM, UNISA FM and other South African radios, Africa Number One, RFI, Convergences FM amongst others) together with news agencies such as Reuters, will provide relevant frameworks to disseminate information about the Conference.
Finally, a website on the Sudan Studies Conference has been created to provide an interface for permanent information-sharing, interaction and communication among.
organisers, participants, sponsors and all Conference stakeholders and role-players. The address of the website (still under construction and update) is:www.sudanconference.org. za
