“Uncovered communities – predominantly rural and sparsely populated – are our key focus right now and I’m pleased that we are making significant progress in closing these access gaps in the region,” Monama said about both provinces. While it has also been building new network sites, and upgrading old ones, MTN has also been engaged in a wide-ranging project to make sure its network stays online across South Africa, even when there is loadshedding.was to ensure all sites are completed with power backup in the form of batteries or hybrid generators on hub sites to minimise network unavailability during load shedding, load reduction, and extended power failures.
