Communicators from municipalities, government departments and public entities across KwaZulu-Natal have gathered for the Provincial Communicators Forum, convened by the Government Communication and Information System (GCIS), the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Government and SALGA.

The forum serves as an important platform to strengthen government communication, share best practices and enhance the effectiveness of public engagement across all spheres of government.

Day One featured insightful presentations and discussions on a range of critical topics, including the findings of the Public Perception Tracker Survey, Mastering the Art of Government Communications, the relationship between Local Government Elections and Service Delivery Protests, as well as strategies for combating misinformation and disinformation in the digital age.

The engagements highlighted the vital role communicators play in ensuring that citizens receive accurate, timely and credible information while promoting transparency, accountability and public trust in government institutions.

The forum continues to equip government communicators with the tools and knowledge required to effectively communicate service delivery initiatives and respond to the evolving information landscape.

Thank You
