    In a groundbreaking investment deal worth R40m, SABC Radio Main 
Control in 10 SABC centres throughout the country will undergo major 
digitisation changes ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa. In 
structuring the deal, the SABC took into consideration the experience 
LAWO, a German routing and digital audio manufacturing company, 
had gained in providing audio routing capabilities to the 2006 FIFA 
World Cup in Germany. SABC also decided to award the design of the 
national radio and television digital routing system to LAWO's South 
African partners, Broadcast & Installation Engineering (B & I) and 
Harambe Technologies.

    According to Gelfand Kausiyo, general manager of SABC Radio 
Broadcast Facilities (RBF), the technology department responsible for 
providing all the broadcast and production needs of SABC Radio, the 
most crucial area in radio is Radio Main Control. "All connectivity, 
including regional routing of audio signals from studio to transmitter 
sites is executed in the Radio Main Control."

    The main control centre is located at Auckland Park in Johannesburg 
and there are a further 10 control centres throughout the country.
