Free Wi-Fi and public broadband in South Africa gets R710 million

The South African government has allocated R710 million over the medium-term expenditure framework to expand the SA Connect programme.

The funds will be used to accelerate the expansion of free broadband connectivity to schools, clinics, and rural communities with limited access to connectivity.
