The IFP’s Nsikayezwe Cebekhulu asked Minister of Defence and Military Veterans Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, if she was informed of the potential risk 5G posed to humans.

Mapisa-Nqakula said her office was aware of risks associated with 5G, but the Department of Telecommunications and Postal Services did due diligence on the roll-out of the technology.

“The department of defence is aware of the identified dangers and risks pertaining to the 5G technology roll-out,” said Mapisa-Nqakula, replying to written questions in Parliament.

“It is the department of defence’s policy to invest only on tested and matured technologies that are safe in accordance to international best practices.”

The Minister of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries Barbara Creecy took questions about how the government planned to protect the country’s ecosystem against the frequencies emitted by 5G.

The Austrian parliament has commissioned a study into the health effects of 5G networks due to concerns among the public the new generation of mobile services could pose risks from increased radiation exposure.

The Advisory Council on Technology Assessment of the Austrian Parliament has decided to obtain expertise in the field and appointed a consortium of the Institute for Technology Assessment of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the Austrian Institute of Technology to conduct a study. The research institutes already provide the parliament with scientific advice on many topics.

The study is expected to be ready by January 2020, providing an overview of the latest research on the topic. The report will be published on the parliament’s website.
