Capitec Connect brings affordable data solutions to South Africans
The Challenge: High Data Costs in South Africa
South Africans are avid social media users, spending an astounding 2.65 billion hours online monthly. However, local mobile data costs remain a challenge, ranking South Africa fourth in affordability compared to other African countries, according to a MyBroadband study.
While countries like Nigeria and Kenya lead with data prices as low as R0.01 to R0.02 per megabyte, South Africans often pay significantly more. These higher costs limit access to connectivity, making digital experiences more expensive for millions.

Its mobile network, Capitec Connect, has attracted over 1.4 million subscribers and is making waves with its affordable data, voice, streaming, and WhatsApp bundles.
