To: SABC, eNCA News, M-NET, DStv and Carte Blanche. We are petitioning to have closed captioning and subtitles at all times, everyday. Deaf people deserve equal right, access, and respect.

The Issue

Please consider this as an opportunity to set the things right and to make a difference to 1.4 million deaf/Deaf and Hard of Hearing people in South Africa. 

Our South Africa Deaf Community humbly requesting you to add a fully closed captioning and subtitling at all the times on TV programmes.

"Without subtitle accessible for Deaf is like hearing people watching TV without sound". - Didier Perkin 

Respectfully regards,

Carmen-Jean Panaino with Deaf Rights Movement SA Team members.
