My Name is Franklin Huizies, CEO for NCRF, a network for community Radio in South Africa. My comments is that this model is ok to start communities and groups thinking. However my feeling is, that the model approaches the issue of sustainability very one dimensional. I am concerned that the stations or projects are not prompted to consider the Social sustainability aspect and hence will fall in a trap of trying to accomplish financial sustainability at all cost, losing the key focus of people’s media in an attempt to achieve commercial objectives. So this model is a good guide to start off a process of planning for the project.
