than the cell-phone and the telephone, as 14.6% use it to source
information. While 4.6% of the respondents use the video, 3.2% use mobile
cinemas. Invariably, data indications are that the computer/internet and the
CD-ROM have no value amongst rural women in Kenya.
Additionally, the P-Value for ICTs frequently used to access/receive
educational, business/ trade, health, agricultural and social welfare
information in both Kenya and South Africa indicates that:
• The P-Value of radios is greater than 0.05 (no significant difference)
• The P-Value of television is greater than 0.05 ( no significant
difference)
• The P-Value of films is greater than 0.05 (no significant difference)
• The P-Value of the cell-phone is greater than 0.05 ( no significant
difference)
• The P-Value of the telephone is less than 0.05 ( significant difference)
• The P-Value of video is less than 0.05 ( significant difference)
• The P-Value of computer/internet is less than 0.05 (significant
difference)
• The P-Value of mobile cinemas is greater than 0.05 (no significant
difference)
From the above results the study can safely deduce that an average of 74%
of the respondents from both South Africa and Kenya use the radio as a
medium of information access. Correspondingly, an average of only 38% use
the TV for their information needs. Whereas 10.2% of the respondents in
KZN (SA) use the telephone, only 4% from RVP (Kenya) use the telephone.
In both countries, the use of modern technologies such as the
computer/internet is negligible.
