The impulse for this form of television in South Africa arose from a desire to overcome the divisions and imbalances in broadcasting resulting from apartheid. An important conference held in the Netherlands in 1991 saw a broad range of NGOs and Community Groups resolve that the full diversity of the country should be expressed in its broadcasting. Subsequently, community television was introduced to South Africa by legislation known as the Independent Broadcasting Authority Act of 1993.

Moreover, as the 1950s progressed, the SABC's finances were becoming more desperate, after buying more land for its Auckland Park facilities, expansion of Bantu radio services and loans to install FM transmitters and services. With those plans, the SABC's ambitions were hampered. In the late 50s, UP member B. Wilson had already claimed that the idea to introduce television was no longer of "astronomical proportions", whereas the National Party in the 1960s believed that the benefits of television did not justify the high expenses. 96: 3699: 490: 1956: 6181: 558:

The SABC on its behalf said that it was improbable for South Africa to get a service in the near future, due to the cost of installing equipment, importing sets and producing programmes.

These films contained news, interviews and documentary items, and were viewed by millions of viewers, with the cost of production amounting to thousands of rands. The opposition, in principle, did not disapprove of these films, but raised questions about the government's argument.
