Abstract
The Western Cape Provincial Government uses digital intermediaries to facilitate
information sharing between individuals, communities and the government. Digital
intermediaries are shared facilities where communities can visit and have access to information
and communication technology (ICT) and the internet. Communities benefit economically,
socially and politically by using free access to ICT and the internet from intermediaries’
facilities to share information with the government. There seem to be disparities between the
roles of the different stakeholders in information sharing. These disparities often result in poor
communication between the government and communities, and also poor government
services delivery.
