RATIONALE
With the advent of new technology, Lenz TV uses the Internet as a distribution platform, reaching larger audiences at less cost and available on a range of mobile and laptop devices.
The town of Lenasia was established in 1956 by South African apartheid-era government planners who relocated Johannesburg’s Indian and non-white residents to Lenz Military Base, south of Soweto township.
Today it retains its identity as an Indian town with the culture to match. Lenasia has developed into a vibrant and thriving residential suburb and business community with a strong religious bent. Yet there is great tolerance and diversity among the population which according to Stats SA, has grown to well over 100 thousand residents.
