So these ministers can't even eradicate pit toilets, but everyone's gonna have free wifi?

The madness continues abated.

They are going to need to stop the theft of the electrical infrastructure in Lanseria first. I noticed earlier this week they are going to reinstall the street lights on Pelindaba road for the 4th time in 2 years. What is the proposed plan for the 4 mini townships in the area that have no water or power?

Do they know that you need electricity for internet access?
Apart from that, you need copper for the feeders, batterries, door to lock the container, security that sleep at the radio site, and the people who want free internet in the day, steal the network at night.

I believe the idea is that those Smart cities are built and those people from the townships live there instead of shacks.

I believe internet is now an essential service like electricity. This is a good idea, and is needed, but I cant imagine it been implemented correctly.

They've just got to be smart and go steal from the Smart City, silly.

It means infrastructure.

We know infrastructure is not in our government's dictionary.
