The Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) has expressed sadness at the passing of journalist, Dlozi Msibi.
“He was a passionate journalist and digital content creator whose work gave voice to local stories and promoted accountability through fearless, community-focused reporting,” GCIS Acting Director-General Nomonde Mnukwa said.
Msibi was the founder of Mkhondo TV, a respected community media platform that informed and connected residents in Mkhondo, which is in the Gert Sibande District Municipality and surrounding areas in Mpumalanga.
The Acting Director-General said the GCIS recognises and prioritises community media as an essential stakeholder in advancing democracy.
“Platforms like Mkhondo TV play a vital role in promoting transparency, public participation, and access to information. We extend our sincere condolences to Msibi’s family, colleagues, and the Mkhondo community. His legacy will continue to inspire the growth of credible, independent local media,” she said. -SAnews.gov.za
