Dear fellow South Africans Last week, government concluded the auction of high demand spectrum for mobile telecommunications. This is a significant milestone in our reform agenda, which will, as we have said before, drive growth and transformation in our economy.
5G network rollout The use of this spectrum will also enable the rollout of 5G networks. These 5G networks will accelerate the process towards universal connectivity – where all South Africans are connected – and the deployment of the digital technologies and services that are driving the fourth industrial revolution. This is a crucial step to bring South Africa back to the cutting edge of digital technology and ensure that our economy remains competitive.
