ISP providing free Wi-Fi in Soweto

Established in 2010, the Soweto Wireless User Group (SOWUG) is a community network that offers free wireless Internet hotspots in the Soweto township and its surrounding areas.

Founded by Jabulani Vilakazi and managed by the community, the network was born out of a necessity to provide Internet access where larger players were absent.

When government talks about cheaper data, this is what they mean. the middle- and upper-class clients will always subsidize this through their own inflated fees.
