SPTC Managing Director, Nathi Dlamini, has written to the applicants and the Technical Committee tasked with issuing the licenses, saying there has been a breach of procedure during the processing of the applications in November last year. Dlamini, who has not specified the breach, has ordered that the process start afresh.

Three community and one commercial radio station aspirants had their applications for licenses approved in November last year. They were promised the licenses within three weeks after having satisfied certain requirements including demonstration of financial capability.

MISA Swaziland played a role in influencing the issuing of the licenses and the chapter will continue to monitor and influence the process until the licenses are issued.
