Neotel has one in Diep River, Cape Town. It looks pretty much like this one.

Yeah, pretty much. Hosting a DR site there, just as impressive.

We had a tour of this about 3 months ago as we have some servers in another Vodacom DC and this is probably the most impressive DC we have seen. The pictures unfortunately do not do justice as to how great it is.

All I can say about the entire building is WOW

Very impressive, it's just a pity that VBS hosting costs can not compete with any of the other competitors (not even MTN) - i.e. trafficking for local whole-sale hosting beyond >10TB/pm is excessive.

Now you know, ladies and gents, why Vodacom's billing always goes off without a hitch! Just look at how neatly those damn wires are laid.
