SA Connect Phase Two - what to expect

[Jan]

Free Wi-Fi and Internet grants — South Africa's big broadband plans

The South African government's project to roll out free Wi-Fi and provide broadband subsidies throughout the country — dubbed SA Connect — is moving forward.

President Cyril Ramaphosa's cabinet approved the rollout of the second phase of the project towards the end of January 2022, and the Department of Communications and Digital Technologies is engaging with National Treasury to request funding for its implementation.

They need to get an access back bone into the areas they want to serve first, once access is available, then they can give out "free" internet.

Everything "free" always sound so simple from this ANC government.
NOTHING is free. Someone will have to pay for this and it will be the declining tax base.


"and the Department of Communications and Digital Technologies is engaging with National Treasury to request funding for its implementation."

The funding money from Treasury, is tax money. Again, NOTHING is free.
ANC is buying votes with tax payer money.
