Open TV WHITESPACE.... that's affordable/free and reaches the masses.
Wasn't there a sponsor but too much red tape stopped it because people wanted to benefit corruptly ?

If they take all property without compensation and stick us in work camps with a central 1g connection they would technically have succeeded.

The average person in South Africa is not tech savvy enough.

Solve basic issues like working electricity, water, sanitation, public transport, etc and see how people will thrive.
That is what you assume.....from personal experience even out here in the bush every tom dick and harry has a smart phone in the informal settlement here, majority on whatsapp, facebook, most of them having older tablets or computers. Library here offers free internet access to learners as well. They even had an state of the art computer lab back in 2010, nothing much left of them now, use to go in once a year to format and clean up all the crap they copied over. The amount of viruses and and malware these systems picked up is absurd, even after having installed antivirus, even created a policy to reject USB devices, but somehow still managed to not update the database. Eventually switched them over to linux and that shyte stopped right away.

Virus pandemic was so bad I add a side hustle of fixing computers, they were all more than happy to pay the R150.00 to get it done. They might not have the latest and greatest, but young and old had some device to connect to the internet.

How about the prioritization of water an electricity. If you can't even provide that how in hell are you going to provide 1 Gbps to every household. How are you going to use it, if you don't have electricity and dying of thirst.

Sure. good luck with that. So who's going to pay for it? The SA taxpayer? Maybe the SA Gov should sort out the power crisis 1st. LOL.

Can we first get all households some form of internet connectivity before trying to get everyone 1Gbps?
This is ANC, they can lie as much as they want.

Your suggestion, though sound, might mean that the ANC actually have to do work.

If they did not keep stealing everything we would have the best of everything in this county the amount of money that is spent replacing stolen infrastructure.
