Overview

SENTECH is a leading South African state-owned company (SOC) specialising in broadcasting content distribution. We deliver broadcast transmission services to all commercial and public broadcasters, including daily support to over 140 community radio stations countrywide. We also play an important role in providing connectivity to telecommunications operators through our tower and satellite infrastructure across the country. Our infrastructure covers over 80% of South Africa, allowing us to offer facility leasing, co-location on masts and connectivity services to retail, telco and public sectors.

SENTECH is wholly owned by the government of the Republic of South Africa as represented by the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies. Its Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI) is aligned with the requirements of the Companies Act and was approved by the Shareholder’s Representative. The approved MOI was accepted and placed on file by the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission on 14 May 2014.

SENTECH holds Individual Electronic Communications Network Services and Individual Electronic Communications Services licences, allowing it to offer voice telecommunications, broadband and multimedia services. It is a Schedule 3B government enterprise in terms of the PFMA and derives its mandate from legislation, particularly the SENTECH Act and the Electronic Communications Act. The Company is also a B-BBEE Level 5 contributor. It was corporatised as a wholly owned subsidiary of the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) in 1992. In 1996, the SENTECH Act converted SENTECH into a public entity with the largest terrestrial signal distribution infrastructure for television (TV) and radio.
